	I'm curious as to what process it is.  I don't know why there
should be an uninterruptible IO state.  It indicates some kind of bug
that a process gets into one and doesn't get out.  I'm guessing it's a
bug in a device driver.  Knowing what process it was might help to
figure out which driver it is.

Have fun (if at all possible),
