If you want to change the behaviour on such a point, you should convince top-level hackers on the LKML. Quite frankly, I guess that they will say 'NO'; and they will add "Who ever said that SIGKILL always works?". And if Al Viro reads your post, his answer could be very bad (Al Viro is famous for the way he flames newbie kernel hackers). That said, this just means you need to fix the automated reaper. Changing this in the SKAS patch is not an option (I don't have time to describe this). Even because I think the behaviour is correct, and it's hard to change that.
