Lately I've been having to reboot every few days due to D state
processes, always mozilla so far. When I exit mozilla it doesn't always
cleanly shutdown, sometimes processes are left behind. I'll post what I
have and if I'm lucky I'll follow up with a backtrace on the pids. Last
time I tried a sysrq-t, it killed X from under me.
