20 mailx processes w/threads blocked by system

Is there anyway I can figure out why these threads are blocked? In gpm I clicked on thread list pulled up a mailx i didnt expect to see there and noticed(from reports) that the thread was blocked 100% for SYSTM. I did some looking and found that system was a catchall and I'd like to specifically identify whats causing the blocks. Since I've noticed the blocks the system was rebooted so I'm really looking for ideas on how to track it next time it occurs.

HI
I would start by looking for the incorrect use of mailx in a script.

Here is an example based on Paula's advice.

/usr/sbin/dmesg | mailx -s "Hardware error detected /tmp/checkhardware" stevenprotter@juf.org
