That's what I recommend.  (You only need one SIGKILL per process, not one
for each thread.  But if you still support linuxthreads, that will probably
need one for each thread.)  Even if you were paranoid about some old kernel
where PTRACE_KILL might work better (dubious if there are any such, but
that's why it's paranoia), you could do this before PTRACE_KILL and it
should certainly be fine everywhere.
