Hello,

I was got some read errors when I was reading from my disk, which is
fine. But then cdparanoia starting to no longer respond. Now it's
zombied and sitting in cbwait. `kill -9 <pid>` does not take it down, it
seems like it's stuck in the kernel (?). Is this an issue to look at
cdparanoia for, or to look in the kernel? Perhaps cdparanoia or the
kernel should have some sort of a timeout? Currently it looks like the
only fix is a full reboot.

Regards,
Brandon Falk
