On my system, with sources from 3/14 and 3/15, the hang occurs
while building a library:

cc -O -m486 -pipe -DFDDI -I. -I/u1/usr/src/lib/libpcap -c scanner.c -o scanner.o
building standard pcap library

The process that is hung is nm.  The make can be interrupted but
nm stays hung.  A ps on the hung process causes ps to hang.  Top
shows this:

27370 root     -18    0   492K  232K sleep   0:00  0.00%  0.00% ps
27223 root     -18    0   188K   60K sleep   0:00  0.00%  0.00% nm

When a process is hung in this mystery state, fstat will quite
often core dump.  After a bit it will be OK.  It may always core
when accessing a hung process descriptor, I don't know.
