>Description:
I frequently mount smbfs shares from Windows servers, read-only, over a WAN (25 to
75ms latency).  It's easy to get a process into an unkillable state, where even 'kill -9'
will not stop it.  But, I finally realized that a control-Z will stop the process, after
which it's easy to kill, even if I resume (fg) the job and let it start running again.  I
think this is a bug of some kind.....
