I interrupted a 'find' via ^C; now, the 'find' command is wedged and
is unkillable:

$ ps ltpts/8

$ uname -a; ls -l /netbsd
NetBSD berkshire.machshav.com 4.99.9 NetBSD 4.99.9 (BERKSHIRE) #2: Tue Feb 20 22:47:45 EST 2007  smb@berkshire.machshav.com:/usr/BUILD/obj/sys/arch/i386/compile/BERKSHIRE i386
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  8018306 Feb 20 22:56 /netbsd

Does anyone need any data from this system?  Or should I just build a
newer kernel and reboot?
