[Veritas-bu] MSBLAST fix leaves bpbkar32.exe processes hanging?

You're lucky!

We were not able to use ANY type of kill command, kill, rkill, pskill etc.
To kill the hung bpbkar32 processes!

The closest to the solution was this article Posted by Marianne van den
Berg, Senior Support Engineer, MGX Solutions:

Taske a look!
