System is 2.1R, pine is from the package.

When a user logs off without exiting pine the processes begin using
lots of CPU and cannot be killed with -INT.  Has a fix or workaround
been developed for this?  (Yeah, I know, don't run pine :-)!

e.g.:

top

load averages:   2.00,  2.00,  2.00                                    16:04:57
72 processes:  3 running, 68 sleeping, 1 stopped
Cpu states:  1.2% user,  0.0% nice, 96.9% system,  1.9% interrupt,  0.0% idle
