now this is really strange - after FEW DAYS of load 99% and not being
able to interrupt cleanup (I attached gdb to it and hit ctrl-c) it was
finally interrupted and now it's in:
(gdb) where
#0 0x401f82e4 in open () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1 0x4004354c in rewrite_clnt_stream () from

(gdb)
I guess that since it's still in open function of libc it was stuck in
open system call?
any ideas about what's going on?
