2.4.3-ac2 and D state process

I have mozilla stuck in D state:

25 [16:44:06] bowman@europa:/home/bowman>> ps -eo pid,tt,user,fname,tmout,f,wchan | grep mozilla
435 ? bowman mozilla- - 040 down_write_failed
2646 ? bowman mozilla- - 040 down_write_failed

Would this be a mozilla issue or a kernel issue? I can't kill this sucker
nor can I attache an strace to it and have it return something.

System is a Debian 2.2r2 system, kernel 2.4.3-ac2, glibc 2.1.3
(dunno what else you folks may need - if you do need more info,
holler)
