Maybe Linux immunize system init (PID 1) against SIGKILL (but I was working on Unices where SIGKILL to init caused clean & immediate system halt - kernel flush buffers, unmount FSs and halt machine), but what SIGKILL to other processes? I was killing them as root, and as I wrote before, they was not zombies and possibly nor in uninterruptible sleep - 'top' utility shows as they consumes eg. several or several tens percents CPU. Then, according to Your link, is only other possibility bad Linux kernel?
