The old psmisc-22.5-nfs4fuser.patch was not able to find all processes.
This was the reason for the change in psmisc-22.6-nfs4fuser.patch.
Maybe the timeout is know introduced by stat(2) on a link within
one of the /proc/<pid>/fd/ links. The problem is even a readlink(2)
would cause such a timeout as the NFS server is not available.
It would be nice if the kernel would provide a way to escape such
timeouts (things like alarm(1); stat(....); alarm(0); together with
a signal handler do not work).
