            Bug ID: 262348
           Summary: Unkillable processes during TeX upgrade
           Product: Base System
           Version: 13.0-STABLE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: hubert.tournier@gmail.com

My system gets stuck during TeX upgrade.
When I interrupt portuprade, the only way to kill the related processes is to
reboot. Kill command doesn't do anything. ^Z & kill %1 neither.
Without reboot, the system ends up getting clogged with a lots of processes
(1750+ at last reboot, with periodic tasks)

# kill -9 96945 22652 2745 5974
# ps -aux

Very strange situation. Never encountered that since I started with 386BSD and
FreeBSD 1.0!
