richh 12557 0.0 0.7 5096 1704 pts/10 D 04:32 0:00 ./egg
idaho
richh 12558 0.0 0.0 0 0 pts/10 Z 04:32 0:00 [egg

richh 12560 0.0 0.7 5096 1704 pts/10 S 04:32 0:00 ./egg
idaho

# ps -eo args,wchan|grep egg
./egg idaho down
[egg <defunct>] do_exit
./egg idaho rt_sigsuspend

kill -9 had no effect on 12557 until i killed 12560. this D state
process held the load at 1.01 for hours.

any takers?
