I had a situation yesterday where a processes task_lock (apparently)
wouldn't get released. That, of course, caused every single access to
/proc/PID/any_file to lock up.

There were no debug messages; everything that didn't scan the process
list worked perfectly.

Scanning through the sources, I didn't see any obvious reason why
anything should leave that lock set. Any ideas?
