in fact it seems even kill -9 cant clean up some times.

bash-3.00#killwine
kill -9 10666
kill -9 10690
bash-3.00#killwine
kill -9 10666
kill -9 10690
bash-3.00#killwine
kill -9 10666
kill -9 10690
bash-3.00#


bash-3.00#pgrep wine -l
10666 wineserver
10690 wine-preloader
bash-3.00#


I took the system right down to the login console and still cant clean up.

Do I really have to reboot as the only way to clean up this mess?

This is taking windows emulation too far!! ;)
