RW is running and paging, which should be killable, but very seldom, looks more like a corrupted kernel data structure. Besides Zombie processes and uniterruptible sleeps (common to nfs and with disk problems) you can also see unkillable kernel threads, but it is unusual to have a kernel thread with that high pid. I would go for a reboot, but dont expect the machine to reboot without a reset/powercycle.
