Same thing just happened to me.
Installed some pakages via apt-get in the console and it freezed while 
unpacking. I tried everything to kill it but its uninterruptible (even i was 
able to kill the parent process [gnome-terminal]). Gnome-System-Monitor says 
that the waiting channel is call_rwsem_down_read_failed.
