You might want to try to start it with strace. I recall something that under some environments the browsing through /proc which is done by killall5 freezes. And I think this is done before killing. Somehow what does not work is a stat call on some /proc files within /proc/<pid>. I don't recall exactly but I have something like this in mind.

If you have found the pid that causes the problem perhaps we get some new ideas on how to handle this behaviour.
