can <exiting> processes on 4.2bsd be killed?

[System Programmer]

<take that>
Is there any way to get rid of processes on 4.2bsd that say (endlessly)
"<exiting>" ?  We run 4.2 on an 11/780 and we can't find any 
way to do it short of bringing down the system.  Usually it's
just a bother, but sometimes they seem to keep a getty from restarting
at a terminal.

Any suggestions will be appreciated
