I get a disk subsystem hang ld'ing xterm on 386bsd.  I've applied
the new patch kit hoping it would fix things, but doesn't.  The system
continues to run, and if I have things running in the background
such as "leave" or the window manager they continue to function
until they have to use the disk.

I'm using Julian's SCSI system on a Micronics 486VL mother board, 16MB
memory with Adaptec 1542B and two CDC/Seagate roughly 300 MB drives.

I've copied the xterm directory onto my first drive, rebooted single user
and verified it still hangs, eliminating the case of a funky file system
and broken code.

The first thing I ask myself is where the processes are sleeping.  Is there
any way to dump the process table from the debugger?
