hung

hung adj.  [from `hung up'] 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 {crash}ed 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.
