I got the source for 2.9.9d+e-pre2-10 from snapshot.debian.net, compiled
it, and it has the same problem. I tried reversing 10_drop_privileges.diff
(2.9.9d+e-pre2-10 didn't use quilt, so I got the patch from
2.9.11~20080817-1; it reverses cleanly). With the patch reversed, the
problem I'm seeing went away.

The process being unkillable is rather worrisome to me, and makes me
wonder if the privilege dropping is actually exposing a kernel bug. What
kernel version are you using? I can try testing that and see if I still
have the same problem.

(I got the diff.gz from the same place)

Unfortunately, it's just the same.

Thanks for your help,
