oo.org unkillable process

Mon Mar 21 21:46:14 PST 2005

I have this same problem (see open office freezes thread).  I was
wondering what was going on such that it is possible to create
processes which cannot be killed.  This seems to me like it should not
be permitted by the operating system.  If root decides a process needs
to go then it should go, especially a user land process.  Would it not
be possible to find out what is going wrong with OO.org and use
whatever it is that is going wrong in a process fork bomb?  I'm not
going to claim that I know anything about operating systems, but it
seems to me that if I say die then the kernel should simply force
closed any file handles, free the process memory and remove the
process from the process list.
