I upgraded my kernel to -12, installed the pulseaudio debugging packages, and ran gdb. Unfortunately, since pulseaudio wouldn't terminate, the 'tee' never actually flushed output to the file. I copy/pasted into a separate buffer. In the attachment you can see the first invocation and then the second under gdb. I rebooted in between invocations. Neither would budge under Control-C or Control-\ nor could I list the process table with ps.
I tried catting various /proc/PID/cmdline files until I found one that would hang. I then tried 'kill -9' on that PID, but it wouldn't die. Typing 'ps' under getty made no difference.
