There are still ways to debug this, if you still have the process
around.  Ricky Nance (CC'ed) is the expert in this, so I've CC'ed him.

Essentially, what we need you to do is attach with gdb:

gdb -p <pid>

and then get me:

bt full

(because if it isn't responding to a sigkill, then it will be in an
infinite loop somewhere, and we want to know where that is).

Then you run:

p talloc_report_full(0, stderr)

You already have my GPG key, so encrypt the info to that key.

Thanks,
