I just noticed that rc564, started with idprio 31, sometimes goes to
sleep and doesn't come back after a huge compilation.  This is what it 
looks like now on one of our 2.2-stable (Aug 14 vintage) machines:

===
>> ps glx
  UID   PID  PPID CPU PRI NI   VSZ  RSS WCHAN  STAT  TT       TIME COMMAND
  569 13352     1 110 -18 19   816   72 vmopar DN    ??  20327:27.01 rc564
  569  5730  5728   0  10  0   812  716 wait   Ss    p0    0:00.89 -bash (bash)
  569  9870  5730   1  28  0   624  268 -      R+    p0    0:00.00 ps -glx

I'm not sure if you can tell from this, but if I look with "top", the
process is not taking up any CPU time anymore, even when the machine
is idle.

The rc564 binary is on an NFS server (2.2-stable, Oct 31), if that
makes any difference.

Also, on another machine, I didn't realize that rc564 is still there
and started it again, and the second one immediately went to sleep
too.  I'm not sure if it's waiting on the same thing, I didn't ps glx
that one.
