DosKillProcess only "flags the process to terminate", according to the
OS/2 1.2 CP Reference. So if the process has set a signal handler for
SIGTERM (using DosSetSigHandler) and the signal handler refuses to yield,
the process will not terminate. To the best of my knowledge, there is no way
to work around this.
