The long/infinite wait is per-process, I'm pretty sure. The loop we're
looking at looks similar to
<http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/common/syscall/uadmin.c#113>,
but is obviously different now (and we don't have the source). But
assuming it still somewhat resembles that loop, if it waits for one
unkillable process, it won't get to the rest of them.
