    Programs like Xine and XMMS refuse to shut down properly on my installation,
    and they are bringing a heavy load to my CPU. If I use killall xine or kill
    <pid> it just keeps running, but if I use kill -KILL <pid> then it always
    terminates instantly. It always worked for me. I'm using 5.2.1 RC-2 though,
    and not 4.9.

    Cheers,

    Jorn
