I would be more constructive to tell the user what the blocking program
is (command name, user, PID).

A lot of PK messages suffer from this kind of lack of details which is
not helpful for the user and just makes him want to scream. Please try
to give users *context* instead of vague maddening generic blurbs.

Remember, the user, not PK, is supposed to be in control. No black magic
please.
