I've got a whole slew of gnome helper daemons stuck in closef at -6.

    UID   PID  PPID CPU PRI NI  VSZ  RSS WCHAN  STAT TT    TIME COMMAND
    100  3848 24273   3  -6  0  320    4 closef DWXs ?? 0:00.00 oafd --ac-activate --ior-output-fd=6 
    100  4024     1   1  -6  0  320    4 closef DWs  ?? 0:00.00 oafd --ac-activate --ior-output-fd=6 
    100 12988     1   2  -6  0  320    4 closef DWs  ?? 0:00.00 oafd --ac-activate --ior-output-fd=6 
    100 16351     1   1  -6  0  320    4 closef DWs  ?? 0:00.00 oafd --ac-activate --ior-output-fd=6 
    100 16746     1   3  -6  0  320    4 closef DWs  ?? 0:00.00 oafd --ac-activate --ior-output-fd=6 

COMMAND   PID     USER   FD   TYPE     DEVICE SIZE/OFF   NODE NAME
oafd    16746 wolfgang    0u  VCHR        2,2    0t495    410 /dev/null

oafd    16746 wolfgang    3u  unix 0xc13466b4      0t0        ->(none)
oafd    16746 wolfgang    4r  unix 0xc12ceed0      0t0        ->0xc1346238
oafd    16746 wolfgang    5w  unix 0xc1346238      0t0        ->0xc12ceed0

To be honest, I'm not even really sure what oafd is or which program
started it up.  But be that as it may, I'd really like to figure out
what oafd is trying to close and why it can't.  Gdb will attach to
oafd but due to the -6 prio will hang itself.  Obviously kill -9 won't
touch it, so I'm kind of stuck with a reboot.
