Process stuck in START state

2006-03-24 Thread Freminlins 
Hello,

I have a process which I cannot kill. It is stuck in the START state. Top
shows this:

37028 frem 1 1000 0K 0K START5:20  6.54% acroread

and ps shows this:
frem37028  6.5  0.0 0 0  v0  RE2:40PM   5:20.33 [acroread]

There is no entry for this pid under /proc.


How do I actually kill this process? It's been running for over a day now.
I'm using FreeBSD 6.0 Release.



Thanks,
Frem.

It's a bug, I'm not sure if it's still present in 6.1.

It's not actually continuing to use CPU though, so it's not too much
to worry about.
