possible race on HEAD?

So I noticed that I wasn't getting my morning emails from periodic...
When I looked at ps, it showed that the tasks have been running for
hours.  Also, I noticed that some nightly cron jobs were also running.
One of these was cvsup...about 10 of them.  So when I did a 'killall
cvsup' I figured they'd go away.  No such luck.  Then I 'killall -9
cvsup'.  No change.  So, I investigated further by running a cvsup
process myself.  It hung after "Parsing supfile "/root/DragonFly-supfile"".
Hitting ctrl-c had no effect (other than printing ^C on my term).  Running
ktrace on that process left me with a blank ktrace.out.  'ps alx' looks like:

  UID   PID  PPID CPU PRI  NI   VSZ  RSS WCHAN  STAT  TT       TIME COMMAND
    0  7027  1084   0 152   0  1632 1036 clock  DL+   p5    0:00.09 cvsup -L 2 /root/DragonFly-supfile


Some of the other cvsups have vnode instead of clock.

Ideas of how I can further troubleshoot?
