Peter, the gdb script I have posted a couple of times is a good start
on seeing what the tasks in the system are up to.  I would like to see
the gdb script eventually enhanced so that it could give you some
details
like decoding the task state into English and know that if in certain
states,
that Wait.id is what the task is waiting on.
