I do this all the time with Pine; but I've never had a problem "kill -9"ing
it.  What I eventually did was turn the "enable-suspend" option off in 
the config file, then setting an "alias pine pine -z" so that when 
starting pine manually from the shell I get the suspend feature, but when 
launching it from an xterm I don't.  Works for me... :-)

Thanks,

Mike
