I once had a process that kept on using system cpu time after the kill -9.
That worried me, until I discovered that it was writing a core file of a
couple of hunderd megabytes (at that stage the process is already dead,
but the time the kernel was taking to write that gigantic core file was
being added to the process's system time.
This was on NCR ^H^H^H^H AT&T SVR4, BTW.
