I've seen this problem arrise in two cases, one when a user does a XOFF
(control-s) and then severs the connection to the computer, and the other
case when a telnet is similarly severed. Unfortunately, I dont know how
to kill a process in this beyond-zombie state. This brings up another
question: what is the "lbolt" WCHAN?
