As I was playing a DVD, the picture stopped and everything seemingly
froze. I was able to login from another machine and look, what's
happening.

As with the NFS-stuck processes of the bad old days, the physrd-stuck
process is unkillable (including SIGKILL, of course) and will require me
to reboot the whole machine...

This is on -current from July 3rd.
