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. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
