Hanging process cannot be killed except from "kill -9"

[Gavin McDonald]

What about sending the hung process a different signal, 
like SIGHUP or SIGTERM  to get it to clean up properly...?

I cant answer your first question, since you would have
to specify _WHAT_PROCESS_ is hanging.

For your second question, Yes there is a work around;  Don't
write code that hangs.. ;)
