The one response that I got was that these processes may be in kernel mode.
That fits with what I'm seeing, where a process is waiting uninterruptable.
It's posted a syscall to the kernel and never gets back.
At issue is a problem shutting down Oracle Apps 11i + various patches when
user's are connected or concurrent manager jobs are running. The processes
go U-state and/or defunct and I end up doing a shutdown abort on the
database and rebooting.

What do the brackets in a ps like this one signify?
