Is there any way to kill a runaway user process that seems impervious to
the "kill" command?  In particular, the latest versions of Netscape
Communicator seem prone to running rampant, leaving behind processes that
consume 90+ percent of the CPU even after the program has been exited.

This is a 2.2.6-RELEASE system.  The process is started as a user, but I
can get root access if necessary.

Thanks in advance,
K.S.
