I have the "unkillable process" problem without fuse or totem being
involved, on a headless server install, not running X.

Was installing sbcl (sudo apt-get install sbcl) inside a screen(1)
session and now the apt process and the launched sbcl (which is trying
to generate some cache or something) are both unkillable with kill -9
and killall -9.

The other interesting symptom is that pstree -p reports all processes
fine, but ps aux actually locks up midway through its report.

When the sbcl install locked up for over an hour, I instinctively
ctrl-c'd it and ran it again without noticing the first one had not
died. Now I have multiple unkillable sbcl processes; I've attached the
relevant section of pstree.

The screen session that launched those processes is also now unkillable,
but other processes (new and old) are behaving normally.

If I reliably duplicate this, I'll post more info.
