When running fb_lock_print during a freeze I always see the following:

OWNER BLOCK 11708
Owner id: 5674, type: 1, flags: 0x04, pending: 0,
semid: 2
Process id: 5674, UID: 0x0 Alive
Flags: 0x44 hung
Requests: *empty*
Blocks: *empty*

The flag of this owner block has a status "hung".

Could some one tell me what this means and why it could be happening?

Thanks
Richard
