cron.daily problem

[Igor Mozetic <igor.mozetic@uni-mb.si>]

I observed on one of our Debian 2.2 machines that daily cron still
didn't finish after 5+ hours:

# ps aux

     |                                                |-sort
     |                                                `-updatedb---find

Aparently find is stuck in an uninterruptible sleep (D).
Is there anything one can do other then leave it or reboot ?
(which is very undesirable)
