kill -s 9 <PROCESS NUMBER>

I assure you that it will kill it.  Had the same problem with someone who was in vi and just killed his putty session without getting out of it.

HTH

That did not work for me, tryed to kill the process several times, the only thing that worked, reboot.. typical, when you finaly reach the 100 day marker. .heh
