sun4 7.6L: unkillable matlab process

daemon@ATHENA.MIT.EDU (Rich Tauriello)
Thu Sep 23 14:28:20 1993

To: bugs@MIT.EDU
Date: Thu, 23 Sep 93 14:28:05 EDT
From: "Rich Tauriello" <rptaurie@MIT.EDU>

System name:		w20-575-116
Type and version:	SPARC/Classic 7.6L
Display type:		cgthree

What's wrong:
	When I logged in to this machine, this process was running:
 F S      UID   PID  PPID  C PRI NI     ADDR     SZ    WCHAN    STIME TTY      TIME COMD
 8 S 00012113 11530     1 80   1 20 fc608800   1526 fc43e7c4   Sep 21 pts/1    0:52 /mit/matlab/sun4bin/matlab4.x

I su'ed and tried to kill it (with -9 and other signals), with no
luck.  Based on the owner of the process (user brungart) and the
output of last, it looks like it had been running for ~36 hours.
