Lately I've been having to reboot every few days due to D state processes, always mozilla so far. When I exit mozilla it doesn't always cleanly shutdown, sometimes processes are left behind. I'll post what I have and if I'm lucky I'll follow up with a backtrace on the pids. Last time I tried a sysrq-t, it killed X from under me. # ps aux|grep mozi david 6530 0.3 7.1 33444 18180 ?
