Running 2.4.4pre4 with Andrea's rwsem-generic-6 patch, I have just
gotten a process stuck in the 'R' state.  According to the ps man page
this is: "runnable (on run queue)".  The 'ps aux' output is:
USER       PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
root      7921  0.8 26.9 91720 68608 ?       R<   00:33  11:20 /usr/X11R6/bin/X

X is niced at -10 and doesn't respond to kill or kill -9.

alpha 21164 (ev56) architecture.  kernel compiled with:
gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.0)

Cheers,
