unkillable procs, ide-scsi, kernel 2.0.36

An ordinary CDROM is used with scsi to get
audio to filesystem (mounted via NFS) . After a few
uses, cdparanoia goes into D state, and won't catch KILL.
eject, cdrecord, etc., if invoked, will then go into
the D state as well.
I have tried 2.0.36, 2.2.0, 2.2.1, and they all
show this behavior.
strace shows eject hanging when opening /dev/scd0
cdrecord uses the generic interface and hangs when trying to
write .
The ide hard drive light will also stay lit for a long
period (10 min) after the hang and then may or may not go out.

(Debian i386)

binutils 2.9.1.0.19a
ldd: version 1.9.10
libc 2.0.7.19981211
