Yuri <yuri@rawbw.com> wrote: > kill -9 doesn't kill it. I think I've seen this before; it looks as if, since the process is STOPped, the "kill -9" remains pending rather than being acted upon. I _think_ you can make the process go away by doing a "kill -CONT" after the "kill -9". No idea how a STOPped process can continue to consume CPU, unless in an infinite loop at elevated interupt level (and in that case the "kill -CONT" may not work -- you may need to drop into kdb, try to do some debugging and/or get a dump, and then reboot).
