While experimenting with the new libpthread, I found that if you run `truss' on a KSE process, both truss and its victim get into a weird state and don't respond to TERM, INT or QUIT signals. The truss proc dies if you send it the KILL signal, but the victim process cannot be killed. Stranger still, it's in the run state but not actually performing any work. I understand that KSE is still an experimental feature but I thought this was worth pointing out because it could be used as a local DoS and we are nearing 5.0-RELEASE.
