It's happened to me quite often. I think rc should kill all
subprocesses on exit, but I don't think dossrv handles the hangup
note: adding

	postnote(NPGROUP, getpid(), "hangup");

to plan9.c:Exit() and trying

	a: & exit # no floppy disk drive (QEMU) keeps a: hanging

does nothing. What I do is I put 9fat:, 9fs wiki, 9fs sources in my
profile to run automatically.

How I wish Plan 9 had kill -9! The kernel uses the note

	sys: killed

internally, but notify(2) doesn't say so. I wonder...
