Many thanks to those who responded!

Of the responses, there were two which I found useful for solving my
problem.

First
----------------
Run 'trace -p' on the exiting process and through some method which appears
to be "magical" the process will unblock.

Second
----------------
I applied the patch 100225-02 to fix some bugs in the STREAMS drivers.

Thanks again to those who replied,
