I see that on occasion, but haven't pinned down reliable conditions
for reproducing the symptom. I'm using tcsh as shell (I'm not
claiming a correlation necessarily). What if you hit enter in the
hung window? That usually kicks things into gear causing the process
/ window to go away here.
(I miss 'wchan' in ps output to give a clue what the process is
doing / waiting on.)
