I managed to get into a situation where a process incorrectly using a Unix
datagram socket is stuck, as in I can't kill it. I've even tried sending
it a 'kill -9' as root and it remains in the process list. I've killed the
controlling terminal and that left the parent gdb process inherited by
'init', and so I killed the gdb process and now my process is inherited by
init. But it remains in state 'U' in the process table.
Does anyone know how one gets into this situation, and how one gets out of it?
