Reproducible: Always

3.generate 100% CPU load (i.e. emerge)

Actual Results:

Expected Results:

seems to be a generic tulip problem - at least on slow systems

seems to be a hardware/driver conflict with nvidia-fglrx drivers, after removing them currently (have not done a long time test) everything seems to work fine, so i am not anymore sure, if this problem is tulip-driver related...

hmmm... the problem seems not to be nvidia related. even the connection was more stable without the nvidia drivers, the problem appeared again )-:
