There is a number of places this may occurse and all of them have no timeout 
by default.  F.e.  if some terminal shell hangs in exit's ttywait, comsat 
hangs on ttywrite and lots of comsats appearse after several hours. Alternative
solution will be adding

        tp->t_timeout = 180 * hz;

while initializing tp struct, but it is more radical than I suggest initially.
Any ideas?
