I've been using Xoper2.2 to kill errant processes, and so far it has worked
well enough for me to clean up work in progress. I've never been terribly
impressed with GOMF1.0, and found that it at times caused more problems than
it solved. I've heard (but not witnessed first hand) that 3.0 is somewhat
more useful, but still not 100%. 

Advice: find out what is causing the GURU, and take whatever steps are
necessary to avoid it. If it is a commercial program, then call tech support
for the program's distributor, and let them know what is happening. Be
specific.

If GOMF3.0 works as advertised, it would still be a curse instead of a
godsend, in the long term. It is always better to fix the source of the problem
than apply a bandaid.
