I have the same trouble on my Slackware linux boxes, my pqexpire and some
of my rpc.ldmd processes don't die for many minutes.  I find that even a
manual kill -9 to the slow-to-die rpc.ldmd and pqexpire jobs will not make
them exit, you just have to wait up to 8 minutes for them to die. On our
Solaris box, everything exits immediately.
