If you can not kill a process because of the ownership of the process,
you will get a message at SR10 of something like "not owner". We too,
have seen processes hang forever with a "sigp -s" failing to kill the
process. It frequently comes from a cleanup handler waiting for an
event count (file I/O completed, etc.) to be advanced. "sigp -b" is
almost always guaranteed to require a reboot sooner or later.
