Is it possible that these processes are blocked while exiting?

There's currently an unresolved bug where processes get wedged either
during startup or exit.  See if you have any processes in state "START"
in top, or with an E in the "STAT" column:

ps ax -O ppid,flags,mwchan | awk '$6 ~ /E/ || $6 == "STAT"'

Stupid question here, that I just thought about ... is it possible for a threaded process to have one of its threads blocked, but with it not showing up in a ps listing? Or will the ps listing show it as blocked?
