This point is very important -- the NT kill program will *not* detach
any DLLs, and you may end up in an inconsistent, or at the very least,
a confused state. This took me a while to figure out (and of course 
found the MSDJ article right after ...).

The MS docs do talk about the "right" way to kill, and TerminateProcess
as used by KILL.EXE is not it.
