Unfortunately, I have seen many instances where ssh sessions do like this; if 
one happens to be running a yum update in one, and yum is downloading 
packages (putting yum into its unkillable mode, which, in my opinion is such 
an annoying thing; there have been a number of times I'd start up an update, 
have it run for a while, then need to leave (taking my laptop with me, and 
thus disconnecting the session, which can cause its own problems) where I'd 
like to just simply CTRL-C yum and have it do the Right Thing; yum just 
cycles to the next mirror (at least the last time a couple of weeks ago it 
did this) when you hit CTRL-C OR when you send yum a SIGTERM)), then you can 
get some really wierd artifacts with unkillable but not running yum 
processes; I have seen a few where SIGKILL didn't do anything, and all 
because of a network glitch.
