I like to call em dead processes.. other like to call em disk processes
meaning they're in the middle of interrupted i/o.. it's normal for
processes to be in the D state for a few milliseconds or so... but after
everything else has settled.. you have a problem. Only solution is to
reboot. I had a major problem with one of the 2.4.0-test kernels and
deadlocked processes. Any reproducable problem should be reported to the
project maintainter ASAP.. and in this case.. it's a kernel issue.. but
can be caused by "3rd party" patches, etc.
