OK, this is interesting. hobbitd uses a technique called "semaphores"
to synchronize the communication between hobbitd and the
hobbitd_channel processes. hobbitd being stuck doing a "semop" call
indicates that it got into a deadlock situation, where hobbitd is
waiting for one of the hobbitd_channel children to finish, but it
never signals that it has completed.

This is a different kind of bug than I had expected.

I'll have to think about how to handle that.
