Hi,
I have a process which does not repond to any signals and is in a 'D'
state. This generally happens when 'myprocess' tries to ftp files from a
host and the host is running low on memory, but I am not sure of the
reason.
Can some one help me in isolating the problem and help me fixing it.

There are a bunch of other process which has been omitted.
