Process stuck with an empty STATE

[Matthew Dillon]

:It's not limited to `git' command; I've seen a similar stuck process
:(cc1) during buildworld loops on another machine running -DEVELOPMENT.
:The kernel and the world has been built on August 24, so it's not the
:lastest.  Does anyone know if it's already been resolved?
:
:Thanks.

    New one to me.  I've never seen this.

    I think your best bet is to kgdb the live kernel and see if it shows
    up on 'info threads'.  If you can get a process or thread address out
    of ps it should be possible to track down the actual state of the
    process.
