Tried, doesn't do anything. The windows event don't refresh.
Nor does an xkill (the windows dissaperars, but the 'pause' doen't return.
Here is the end of the trace (from kdump -e ibcs2 -l):
  4564 xwp      NAMI  "/emul/ibcs2/tmp/wpc-chassiro/.wpexc.LCK"
  4564 xwp      NAMI  "/tmp/wpc-chassiro/.wpexc.LCK"
  4564 xwp      RET   stat -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
  4564 xwp      CALL  open(0x5325a8,0x502,0x1b6)
  4564 xwp      NAMI  "/emul/ibcs2/tmp/wpc-chassiro"
  4564 xwp      NAMI  "/tmp/wpc-chassiro/.wpexc.LCK"
  4564 xwp      RET   open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
  4564 xwp      CALL  alarm(0)
  4564 xwp      RET   alarm 0
  4564 xwp      CALL  sigsys(0xe,0x371744)
  4564 xwp      RET   sigsys 0
  4564 xwp      CALL  alarm(0x1)
  4564 xwp      RET   alarm 0
  4564 xwp      CALL  pause

Then i kill 4564:
  4564 xwp      PSIG  SIGTERM SIG_DFL

The trace don't show any 'exec' of sub-binarie. There is a 'fork', but this
sub-process has exited when the parent call 'pause'.
