ok, I checked what processes on my system have a 'D' in the ps stat column
- there are only 7 of those processes, and they are all pids lower than
11....

Which is odd, since I have currently 17 blocked processes showing up in
`vmstat` output, but only 7 showing up with 'D' in stat.

(there are a bunch (10) of jails running on this machine - don't know if
that means anything...)

Anyway, still unresolved: why do I have all these (17 and rising) blocked
processes ... and why do they steadily increase over time when load stays
the same (and why can i not figure out which processes they are using the
methods you suggested)?

thanks..PT
