USER       PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS TT  STAT STARTED       TIME COMMAND
root       558  0.0  0.5   284  708 00- IEs+  2:25PM    0:00.06 /usr/pkg/sbin/v

This is an extract from my ps-list right now. The process (vgetty) is
trying to exit for over half an hour now, but nothing happens! The system
continues to work properly, except that the serial port tty00 claimed by
vgetty can't be freed. Not even a kill -9 can terminate the process. Any
clues what is going on here?

TIA,
Bjoern
