[Bharat Katkar]

what this state suspended really mean?
-- A stop signal puts a process in this state and it remains in that state till it gets continue signal. After continue signal is received it goes into runnable state i.e. it becomes ready to run.

That's all i can tell you..

[Navin Bhat_2]

Usually threads in this state means they are processing an exception or an signal.

Here is an example that might help.
