Hi, after Emacs+Gnus went unusable (blank unresponsive Emacs client) I noticed that there's no way to kill the Emacs process. According to ps output, the process is in Uninterruptable sleep (usually IO). One NNTP connection is left open in CLOSE_WAIT and lsof shows that a unix socket and a couple of sockets with unidentified protocol are still open. Emacs still consumes about 13megs of memory and generates a .2 load. Tried shooting the process with all logical kill signals, no success. Tried going into single-user mode, tried shutting down network and the network interface (eth0), no success. (Which reminds me, why after shutting down network and ifdown eth0 is it still leaving FTP connections open and will data still come in? Shouldn't the system shut down all connections?)
