Seems like anytime I first startup mozilla I end up with something
like:
ps afx | grep mozilla
680 ttyp6 S 0:00 | \_ grep mozilla
660 tty1 S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh /other2/mozilla/run-mozilla.sh
664 tty1 S 0:01 \_ ./mozilla-bin
665 tty1 S 0:00 \_ ./mozilla-bin
666 tty1 S 0:00 \_ ./mozilla-bin
667 tty1 S 0:00 \_ ./mozilla-bin
670 tty1 D 0:00 \_ ./mozilla-bin
athan@emelia:~; ps l 670
F UID PID PPID PRI NI VSZ RSS WCHAN STAT TTY TIME COMMAND
040 513 670 665 9 0 19500 12028 down_w D tty1 0:00 ./mozilla-b
And I can't get that D-state process to budge or die in any way. I end
up with an fsck of the device the binary is on next reboot due to
unclean umount. Attaching strace or gdb never works, just hangs, so
about the only useful info I can give (nothing in dmesg or kern.log):
athan@emelia:~; cd /proc/670
athan@emelia:/proc/670; cat stat

I'll sometime if I can remember to run mozilla with a strace -f -ff
-o file to see if it gives any more useful info. I'll be updating to
2.4.3-ac5 in the next hour or so anyway (currently on plain vanilla
2.4.3).
If anyone has any other ideas/suggestions/pointers to info about how
to get more information as to what the process is 'doing' and how it got
there I'd be grateful.
