I've been getting communicator processes that won't die recently. (yes,
the irony that I have /usr/local/bin/buserror linked to communicator did
not escape me)

Unfortunatly, it creates a major problem for me since the file descriptors
won't close and drives won't unmount so the md driver won't stop the raid
and I have to go through a 45min ckraid + a couple minute fsck...

Here's the Ctrl-ScrlLck output after kill -9 for both (communicator
spawns a child obviously; these are the same logical task as it were):
communicator 66 D 00000000 4 7354 1 7355 9048 8649
communicator 72 Z 00000000 4 7355 7354

Any ideas?
