Try this untested fix for get_wchan.  The values in the ps axl column should
now be numbers that make sense as addresses.  Unless the `n' option is
also used ps will try to translate the address back into a symbol.  Cite
from ps(1):

[...]
       To  produce  the  WCHAN  field,  ps needs to read the Sys­
       tem.map file created when  the  kernel  is  compiled.  The
       search path is:
              $PS_SYSTEM_MAP
              /boot/System.map-`uname -r`
              /boot/System.map
              /lib/modules/`uname -r`/System.map
              /usr/src/linux/System.map
              /System.map
[...]

If that's working as planned please send me the WCHAN of any stuck process.
I need to know where they're stuck.
