I already got my VM stuck on this one.  I had two twosleepy instances,
2774 was the one that got stuck (also confirmed by watching top).

Btw, have you been able to reproduce this on your end?

I think the easiest reproduction on my 2-core VM is by running 2
twosleepy processes and doing the following to dirty a lot of pages:

  while time find $LARGISH_NFS_MOUNT -type f -print0 | \
    xargs -0 -n1 -P4 sh -c 'cat "$1" >> /tmp/z; > /tmp/z' --; do date; done

I've updated git://bogomips.org/toosleepy.git to automate the reporting
for me.
