The Windows folks here have the 'pskill' utility along with a fair number of
other utilities, but none of them seemed to work.  And just double (triple?
quadruple?) check that I have the story right, I asked the Windows admins again
how they clear this and they said they *always* have to power cycle the box;
the OS will not shutdown when the 'bpbkar.exe' process hangs, thus hanging the
OS shutdown and requiring the power cycle of the box.
