>Description:
A procmail process on one of our hosts that was accessing a file
over NFS got into a bad state - it could not be killed.  We decided
to reboot the machine to recover.  A message along the lines of
"syncing files...  done" appeared on the (serial) console, but the
machine did not reboot.  It was still answering pings on the network.

We issued an interrupt and got into the debugger - the stack trace
is below:

We have a crash dump if anyone wants to look at it, or wants to send
us commands to query it.
