[PLUG] Runaway process

[Michael Montagne]

Not reiser, ext2.
It also is not in D state. This is ps output:

root      8532 81.9  0.1  1800  452 ?        R    12:58  31:52 rm -i -rf doug

Weird, cause I also did not use the -i flag.  -f should force it
anyways, I guess.
kill -9 8532 does not do anything.  There is no feedback whatsoever.
