Well...@*#%. More info.
I just tried going into that self-same problem directory and
running "strace ls -lR" to see if I could track where it
hangs...and both 'D'-state processes instantly un-hung. The
strace completes without issue.
This does not make me happy at all. I still know there's a bug,
and I'm no closer to tracking it down than I was. Not to
mention which, I've got to try to reproduce this condition all
over again, just to track it down.
(/me roars furious oaths in Germanic.)
It's like the damn thing chose the worst possible time to be on
its best behavior. Sigh.
Maybe someone else can glean a clue from this strange sequence of
events?
