Of course, if the process is blocked in the kernel, it's done hung up. There
isn't much you can do to kill it that wouldn't require a reboot to clean
up the mess (I'm thinking about using a kernel debugger to trash the process,
which would in turn trash the process table, which would in turn trash the
OS--random MIPS code execution!).
