if the signal-handler in such processes aren't programmed to release
resources, they will remain allocated.  the kernel takes care about
some resources automatically, but it cannot know about all of them.
bad lockfile programming can't be repaired by the kernel if it cannot
determine these files aren't to be used by other programs as well.
