It's blocking in some uninterruptible state in the kernel.  Your
only option to get rid of the process is to reboot.  It's usually
a kernel bug for this to happen.  There might be another explanation
for this behavior, but I've never heard it (other than "there's an
I/O problem, and the process is waiting on I/P").
