this is a straight-forward failure of the linux kernel. it's a dead process, it doesn't listen to anything anymore. there is no way you can remove it without a reboot. the process is in "uniterruptible sleep" state (implying it's doing some kind of i/o), but it's definitely not interested in handling signals (even SIGKILL, which you're the kernel isn't supposed to let you ignore). had plenty of them, never succeeded without a reboot. but what do you care? just leave them? they aren't eating anything away. martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- prepBut nI vrbLike adjHungarian! qWhat's artThe adjBig nProblem? -- alec flett @netscape
