Since 2.2.4-ac28 and 2.4.3 I keep on getting processes in D state that I
cannot kill, usually mozilla or nautilus which use a large amount of RAM.
Today is galeon:
A ps -eo pid,stat,pcpu,nwchan,wchan=WIDE-WCHAN-COLUMN -o args shows the
following:
11520 D 0.0 105db1 down_write_failed /usr/bin/galeon-bin
This didn't happen neither with 2.4.2 nor with 2.4.3-pre7; I'm not sure
about pre8.

I don't have time to help debug this, but I'm getting this too, with
2.4.3 final. The previous kernel I ran was 2.4.3-pre4, and it did not
have this problem.
In my case, it's usually mozilla (I'm seeing this with the daily
snapshots, but not with mozilla-0.8.1, at least not yet), but at least
once I saw it with freeamp (2.1rc5) too.
