exiting process

to kill. I should have been more specific about the problem and explained
that it was a program I had created that opened a serial port.

Many people responded with suggestions of rebooting
(which is what I ultimately had to do) and that exiting processes
cannot be killed. This is what I thought, but I wanted to see if I
could figure out why it was hanging all the time. I was uanble to
attach to it with p-trace because there was no u-area around for the
kernel to trace.
Hal Stern was right on target with his reply that I probably needed
some patches (100225-01 and some others) to fix serial line problems.
In summary ... Reboot, get patches.
