If you want to see where the process is waiting, you need to enable a few more things in tusc:

*) timstamps
*) entry and exit tracing
*) printing the lwpid if this is a threaded process

Check the man page of course.
-l Print all lwpids.
-T format Show time stamp for each syscall and signal.
-E Show syscall entries.
