cant stop/restart slim

[dennyhalim.com]

Binary package hint: slim

cant stop/restart the daemon.
error something like: application do not respond to TERM signal
even sudo killall slim cant work.

only ctrl-alt-backspace can kill it.

BUT, After failed stopping slim, it became not responding. even ctrl-alt-backspace cant kill it.

tested on 2 different system. same problem.

the error comes from /etc/init.d/slim script, after attempting to issue 'stop' (or restart)
slim not responding to TERM singals...

$ tail -1 /var/log/messages
slim: unexpected signal 15

as reported, after the failed stop, slim does not respond to user input anymore

only way to kill it , is the hard way:
killall -9 slim

bad news for ubuntu/debian users :(

sorry, i meant ` tail -1 /var/log/slim.log`
not /var/log/messages

seems its filed as a debian bug to on slim project's bugs since 28 february 2009 and no resolution thus far... so much for such a simple bug. All it needs is to handle signal 15 as SIGTERM? no?
