Hi,
A few minutes ago I experienced strange thing: I tried to kill hung Midnight
Commander with SAK with no success. Top showed that near 100% CPU was sucked
by mc. Plain old kill <pid> form another vc killed it, and login prompt
appeared.
Isn't SAK supposed to be able to kill anything on a vc?

SAK actually kills everything that has /dev/console open, IIRC.
