How about the driver for the serial port on the motherboard?   If flow
control is enabled, receiving an xoff from the remote will make the 
attached process unkillable even by root doing a kill -9.  If I didn't
know better I might think this stuff was written by a company that
*wanted* people to lock up their machines forever on long distance
calls.
