hung adj. from `hung up'; common equivalent to wedged, but more
   common at unix/c sites. not generally used of people. syn. with locked
   up, wedged; compare hosed. see also hang. a hung state is
   distinguished from crashed 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. it is also distinguished from the similar but more
   drastic state wedged - hung software can be woken up with easy things
   like interrupt keys, but wedged will need a kill -9 or even reboot.
