How about `kill -9 $$`?
This would bypass the END block unless you have trapped SIGKILL.

That would work, but it is platform specific and not exactly a good
thing to do. You could also use the kill function (rather than
counting on kill to be in your path. Then it would work on Win32
platforms as well. However, it is generally a good idea to let the
END blocks run as they should contain code to clean up the environment
(closing network connections, disconnecting from databases, etc).
