Then I don't know. Must be a Windows specific problem. In my previous
email, I was addressing that the Maya pid hangs around because you did not

If the kill does absolutely nothing for you and the window doesn't close,
then somehow the signal isn't reaching the app. Do you launch Maya from
some sort of wrapper?
