Odd. I posted about Apache 1.1.1 doing something similar last night. It went into state R, started chewing large % of CPU, and refused to die. I ended up going into /proc/3261/fd and finding and rm'ing one of the files that was open (presumably being served by the process before it went crazy). Immediately after the rm, the process died. This was under 2.0.18.
If this is a kernel problem, I only hope it and the apparent PPP related bug posted about today can be resolved before the developers plunge into 2.1.x. I realize new features are much more fun than debugging, but somebody has to do it, or we end up with Linux supporting toasters, but the system crashes before the toast is done.
