Well, I haven't investigated very deeply in that area, but it seems that MiNT's got a problem killing processes that haven't reacted on the SIGTERM. As you can see, the "brutal" kill afterwards doesn't wait, and as Shutdown() is a kernel call, no task switch will appear which would actually free the resources of the processes affected by the kill. At least, that's what I found out by inserting some ALERT statements into the functions that free process resources - they're never called for processes that haven't terminated upon receiving SIGTERM.
