A 'kill -9 <bmake's PID>' or a 'killall <bmake's executable name>'

anything.


Try that after doing bmake on /usr/pkgsrc. It does spawn various sh
processes. Doing killall -9 sh is not very nice :P
Then 'init 6' works well...

Seriously, have you tried simply exiting the shell you invoked it from, or 
dropping that particular ssh session?
