the process in question is:
040   500 32629     1   9   0 26112 10620 lock_p D   ?          0:00 xmms
as you can see, apparently the parent process is 1 i.e. init killing this 
defeats the objectm which is to not reboot!

the lock_p and D look interesting, xmms was playing files on an nfs share 
from another machine, this box crashed and although it's back up and sharing 
again, i cn not access the mount point or unmount that mount point, i'm 
assuming that if i can succed in that then i can deal with xmms?
