I have not reported this to Axel, but smart (from atrpms) does 
occasionally hang for me during the final stage of the 'updating cache' 
phase.  It works again after a reboot.  This is not a really serious 
problem for me, because I reboot frequently, but it would be difficult 
in a production environment.

version is smart-0.42-39.fc5.at.i386

This has been happening for several weeks - perhaps since the 2.6.18 
kernel came in.  I don't think I can be more specific about when it 
first happened.
