Hi,

I'm running a python script which has stopped responding. Killing off 
the process doesn't work:

> # ps -ax | grep nzb | grep -v grep
> 48426  p1  TLs  136:51.62 /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/bin/hellanzb.py
> # kill -SIGKILL 48426
> # ps -ax | grep nzb | grep -v grep
> 48426  p1  TLs  136:51.62 /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/bin/hellanzb.py

The only tip I could find seems to reference the 'wait for lock' flag 
('L' in ps output). A lock could come from samba but restarting the 
daemon doesn't solve the problem.

Anyone any idea's?

Greetings,
Remko
