Um, the "rm" command? :-)
Seriously, I boot it up, mount an ext4 volume on a garden-variety disk
partition, and try to delete a file. It hangs (evidently *after*
deleting the file). Every time. (I'm pretty sure I tried an ext4 image
mounted over loopback as well, to no avail.)
I realize it's a decidedly extreme case of the bug, but besides the
ease of reproduction, the symptoms are identical to those reported
here.
