>Description:

Use of threaded apps such as mozilla eventually result in the system entering
a state where any process run does not terminate.  

>How-To-Repeat:
Run native mozilla for a few hours with a recent -current.  Usually after the
second time mozilla crashes the entire system ends up in a state where 
no process will terminate.  For example you can run a new xterm but you can't
close the xterm, similarly you could type `ps` which will display your 
processes but then hangs up.
