            Bug ID: 290733
           Summary: 'kill -9' doesn't kill the process
           Product: Base System
           Version: 14.3-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: yuri@freebsd.org

The mpv process hanged for some reason. I pressed Ctrl-C sevel time on it but
it didn't work.

I've ran 'kill -9 46253' several times but the process was still there after
many seconds:
> $ ps axuww | grep mpv
> yuri       49854    0.0  0.0    14168    2444  8  S+   23:17        0:00.00 grep mpv
> yuri       46253    0.0  0.4   788480  284520  6  DE+  23:15        0:14.43 mpv xx-xx-xx-2025-11-01.webm

It disappeared after 1 minute or so.

It should disappear almost immediately.
