hung

["hung up"] Equivalent to {wedged}, but more common at Unix/C

sites. Not generally used of people. Synonym with {locked

up}, {wedged}; compare {hosed}. See also {hang}. A hung

state is distinguished from {crash}ed or {down}, where the

program or system is also unusable but because it is not

running rather than because it is waiting for something.

However, the recovery from both situations is often the same.
