When I worked with 4.3BSD many years ago, there was the same situation.
There was no way of eliminating a process in an uninteruptable sleep.
It might have changed in later BSDs, but it not only a Linux thing.
Unix has been like that for ages. It might be that Unix is flawed, but
moving to BSD is certainly not a cure for that :-)
