You are welcome.
One long-term issue is still definitely active,
happening sometimes:
The thread(s) stuck-in-sleep problem can still happen.
This is worse than just the fans and the buf*deamon*
thread timeouts during shutdown: those same threads
were not doing there on-going jobs earlier, starting
when they first got stuck. The fans and shutdown
messages (and wait time) just make it rather obvious.
The command:
top -HIStazopid
will frequently show the threads in question when
they are not stuck. But it will also not show the
ones that are already stuck-sleeping.
