Comment (by jdemeyer):

 Running `strace` on such a `gap` process shows:
 {{{
 getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF, {ru_utime={97, 710000}, ru_stime={0, 200000}, ...})
 = 0
 write(1, "@!", 2)                       = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
 getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF, {ru_utime={97, 740000}, ru_stime={0, 200000}, ...})
 = 0
 write(1, "@!", 2)                       = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
 getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF, {ru_utime={97, 770000}, ru_stime={0, 200000}, ...})
 = 0
 write(1, "@!", 2)                       = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
 getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF, {ru_utime={97, 800000}, ru_stime={0, 200000}, ...})

 write(1, "@!", 2)                       = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
 getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF, {ru_utime={97, 830000}, ru_stime={0, 200000}, ...})

 }}}
 [...]

 }}}
 It looks like it's stuck in an infinite loop until it finally segfaults,
 which is almost certainly not what's supposed to happen.
