Hello,

I have a process which I cannot kill. It is stuck in the START state. Top
shows this:

37028 frem         1 100    0     0K     0K START    5:20  6.54% acroread

and ps shows this:
frem    37028  6.5  0.0     0     0  v0  RE    2:40PM   5:20.33 [acroread]

There is no entry for this pid under /proc.


How do I actually kill this process? It's been running for over a day now.
I'm using FreeBSD 6.0 Release.



Thanks,
Frem.
