Some sample output:

sx cycle:

db> ps
  pid  ppid  pgrp   uid   state   wmesg     wchan    cmd
   46     0     0     0  SL      one      0xc49f25a4 [crash2: 3]
   45     0     0     0  SL      four     0xc49f2664 [crash2: 2]
   44     0     0     0  SL      three    0xc49f2624 [crash2: 1]
   43     0     0     0  SL      two      0xc49f25e4 [crash2: 0]
...

...

mixed lockmgr and sx cycle:

db> ps
  pid  ppid  pgrp   uid   state   wmesg     wchan    cmd
   46     0     0     0  SL      fee      0xc4a3f6a0 [crash2: 3]
   45     0     0     0  SL      four     0xc4a3f678 [crash2: 2]
   44     0     0     0  SL      fo       0xc4a3f720 [crash2: 1]
   43     0     0     0  SL      two      0xc4a3f5f8 [crash2: 0]
...
