Stranded processes on halt with 2.6.9 host (2.4.26 client)
I have been running 2.6.7 on the host for some time in SKAs mode. When trying to upgrade to 2.6.9, 2.4.26 clients do run correctly, but upon shutdown they leave two processes stranded that cannot be killed (even with kill -9). Both processes show [halt] so this must be very near the end of UML shutdown. Any ideas. I hunted the message list, but did not see anything obvious.
Server is a Dual P-III running fresh Fedora Core 3. Kernel.org 2.6.9 kernel has been tried with:
15957 host-skas3-2.6.7-v1.patch
23838 host-skas3-2.6.9-rc4-v6.patch
25510 host-skas3-2.6.9-v7.patchbut they all behave the same way.

It's on *any* 2.6.9 host (search "zombie" on the list and you'll find many info). Some UML kernels have been partially patched for that... but some problems are only due to the host kernel and not workaroundable.

This particular one would crash IIRC (even Oops the kernel).... at least on 2.6.9 prereleases.
