There are about 2 million lines of kdump output between these two 
points, which include the output of some debugging printfs and likely 
information read from/written to my personal profile. The only mentions 
of 0x2a92f664 in the kdump output are the lines pasted above. And, as I 
said, no return from umtx_sleep for thread 4 is noticed by ktrace. 
Before I terminated the process I ran 'ps -axHl' which resulted in the 
following line, among others:
 UID   PID   TID  PPID CPU PRI  NI   VSZ  RSS WCHAN  STAT  TT       
TIME COMMAND
1001 75875     4 74331  79 200   0 54880 43764 umtxsl IL+   p6    
0:00.00 /usr/pkg/lib/firefox/firefox-bin
Notice the 'I' in 'IL+'.
The issue is very easy to reproduce - just run 'ktrace -i firefox' and 
try to open an SSL site. If opening the site fails, then close the 
window, wait for some time, then terminate the process. If opening the 
SSL site succeeds, just try again.
I've reproduced the issue with thunderbird too, where the thread than 
never woke up happened to be thread #5. I'm running DragonFly 1.12.1 
with UP kernel.
I ask anybody who doesn't trust my results to try and reproduce the issue.
