 Why not change it to call Process.Close(9) instead? That would make 
 sure that the process is *killed*, period.
 
 BTW -- System.Environment.Exit doesn't do the job either because it 
 calls finalizers and basically does an orderly shutdown (well, 
 mostly). We really need a instant and abortive kill of some kind.

+Why not use Mono.Unix.Stdlib.raise (Mono.Unix.Signum.SIGKILL) from
+Mono.Posix.dll?
+
+Or:
+  Mono.Unix.Syscall.kill (
+    Mono.Unix.Syscall.getpid (),
+    Mono.Unix.Signum.SIGKILL);
+
+That DllImports to kill(2), so it should kill your process outright...
+
+Though I'd think System.Environment.Exit () would also work...
