Not really... I'd suggest to create some debug output (preferrably use 
the btraceback script) and see if you can get the developers 
interested in this.

Then you could try killing just the thread / LWP that is stuck - but I 
don't know if this could work. I doubt it, but if it's the only chance 
I'd rather do that soon, so you don't lose too much time with the 
other, big job you might have to re-run.
