Advocated or not, kill -9 is supposed to be the last resort. If nothing else
works then kill -9 should kill any Unix process. As Tom says, if it doesn't
then it suggests an OS (probably driver) problem.
Now if only I could get IBM to understand that. They still claim that my
problem is that PostgreSQL (an "unsupported" application) is doing something
to catch SIGKILL.
