Therefore we have to abort the session. I've had similar problems but not readily reproduceable. I have an old CM SPL process manager (~60 sons). It doesn't wait for sons, but rather uses local RINs to synchronize a common data segment for communication (old pre-IPC application). I've had it hang, or rather won't terminate and keeps the sons alive. It gets a timer bump every 5 minutes and then queries the sons (getprocinfo). I haven't reported it yet since it is so bizarre -- could be shared data segments, local rins, process handling code, or who knows. It sits there for maybe 10 minutes, maybe a couple of hours, but it eventually goes away. The process cleanup is rather CPU intensive once it gets around to dying. Weird.
