I haven't seen anybody report this problem yet ...

I'm using 2.4.9 + the ext3 patch.

I was doing a grep thru a directory at the time, but doing the
same again doesn't do anything now.

After that alot of processes got stuck in state D, including
things like init, su, login, I couldn't even begin to do a
shutdown, so I just pressed the reset button.

I attached the output of ksymoops.
