Somehow my 3 year-old son managed to leave 13 tuxpaint processes running (with no windows for any of them visible) and I couldn't kill them without rebooting. Shouldn't kill -9 kill a process no matter what? I know on HP-UX at work it does. It was pretty sad to see that a 3 year-old was able to bring my Linux box to it's knees by randomly clicking around with the mouse and the only solution was the alt-sysrq magic keys. Don't anyone tell Bill Gates I just said that.
