saying to use "stty -f <path-to-dev-entry> flushout" to drain the
output queue. That solved the problem immediately.
We don't seem to have "flushout" with the 2.0.5 stty though. :(
Could we get that for FreeBSD?
Please, no waste of time to implement kludges just to get a workaround for
an obvious bug. Using that time to fix the bug instead would be much more
useful. kill -9 should kill the process. If the process is trying to
output something somewhere, the output is lost or something else is done
with it, but the process is killed. That is the whole meaning of SIGKILL,
isn't it, to kill, with no excuses?
