Unkillable processes with libKSE

[Julian Elischer]

what about kill -9 887
?
The signals in libKSE are known to be 'delicate'.
We are working on (well, actually David Xu is working on)
a set of code to make the signal more robust.
Hopefully this will fix the problem you are seeing..

Any other comments?
Other than not being able to kill it, how as the experience?
