Thanks for looking. I'll improve the documentation. I disagree about the prudence of qvm-kill'ing everything. One must strike a balance between the consequences of killing everything on a false alarm and the consequences of delaying a bit when really needed. I'll make this configurable in the next version so each user can make the decision for his or herself.
