Deadlock problems with 'kill PID' on CURRENT

Hi all,

I'm experiencing on 6.X SMP still some deadlocks. The are not
easy to trigger, but each time it happens after killing some
PID's:

This time it was named. I just did this 5 times:

/etc/rc.d/named start (/etc/rc.d/named is broken and does not work)
ps -auxwww | grep "sbin/named" | grep bind | awk '{ print $2 }' ¦ xargs kill

and boom, it deadlocked and I was not able to get into DDB.

Any ideas where the problem could be located ? I've also seen the same
problems on 5.X.

Martin
