[FreeBSD 5.3-RC2] Processes STILL hanging in unkillable state

Hi all,

I just upgraded to 5.3-RC2, and I'm still running into the problem where 
processes will hang in an unkillable state.  In particular, this happens for 
me with OpenOffice under a heavy load.   'ps' reports the state as 'TL' and 
'top' reports the state as STOP.  Neither kill -CONT nor kill -KILL will 
work.  I have libc_r libmapped to libpthread as recommended.  Also note that 
this is with 5.3-RC2, which supposedly fixed a similar problem relating to 
gdb.  Should I recompile OpenOffice?

Thanks,
Jason Harmening
