Another BSD system used to dump you to single-user mode when something like this
happened and say """Something is stuck, "ps -axl" advised."""

If you wanted to, I guess you could set a breakpoint for the debugger or have it
panic if and when that message is triggered, and poke around from there.

If you were trying to _avoid_ having that message appear, I'd consider forcing
an fsck of the filesystem when it's not mounted, or toggle whether softupdates
is (are?) being used....
