I'm seeing a similar problem on a 5.3-RELEASE SMP system using the
4BSD scheduler.  I have two processes which just won't die.  At first
(before I knew there was a problem) I simply tried to kill the program
with CTRL-C, but I don't know if that is related.  I use -O
optimizations.

34916  p0  RN+  150:04,80 webazolver (webalizer)
34940  p0  RNE+  31:17,24 webazolver (webalizer)

I didn't "nice" the processes until after I had found out I couldn't
kill them.

Since this is my main mail/web/etc server I'm haven't tried to trace
the proccesses in ddb yet.
