process did not exit properly after kill signal

[Eric Haug]

Hi,
I have a pr440fx dual PPro system with 132Mb.
I replaced memory and was testing memory with a short program
(included below) and decided to try to kill it
keyboard signals did change what the system was doing
in that the swapping that was occurring stopped.
kill -9 PID did not have the usual effect.
But the process has not exited, the shell prompt has not returned.
The system now is strangely sluggish.
ps indicates that the pagedaemon is accumulating a lot of run time.
the program is in DE+ state. top says it's STATE is objtrm.
this is with FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT of about Wed May  5 06:20 CDT
I suppose this is some VM problem with cleaning up on program exit.
Fixed since May 5 ???

        int l,m,n,o;
        for(o=0; o<16;o++)
        for(l=0; l<L; l++)
                        for(m=0; m<1024; m++)
                                for(n=0; n<1024; n++)
                                        j[l][m][n] = 1;
}
