I've not seen this on any boxes. The usual debugging path here is to:
(1) Look at the process wait channel in ps axl.
(2) Compile KDB/DDB into the kernel, and do a kernel stack trace of the
process.
Once you know what the kernel thread associated with the process is doing, we
can attempt to figure out why it's doing it.
