I sometimes run into the following:

* Running process in gdb.
* Interupt, process ends up stopped, I don't really know how tracing
  works, so I don't know exactly what happens.  ps shows state="TX",
  meaning trace and stopped.
* type "kill", and it doesn't die.

At first I tried to blame gdb and checked the source, but
all it does is call kill (pid, SIGKILL), so I tried it from
the shell and sure enough, it won't die.  Its a little annoying,
I have to exit the gdb before the process will die.  Can anyone
else reproduce or explain this?
