All the pages under the administrator menu kept timing out after i activated pathauto. I couldn't deactivate it anymore either because i couldn't get to any page needing an admin login.
Finally I removed the module from drupal all together and everything worked again. scared the **** out of me though. Getting completely blocked out of the administrator pages is rather a dangerous bug...

This does seem like a major bug, but I've never seen it before and am unsure how to cause it. Knowing how to cause it is the first step to fixing, so marking postponed for now.

Can you try installing it again on a test site to see if the problem happens again?

Also, you can disable the module with this query:

update system set status = 0 where name = 'pathauto';
