Here's my fix to this problem, which is to:
o try kill -0 10 times
o try kill -9 10 times
o give up & exit the loop
The diff follows.

The following loop waits until the server dies. But this may never
happen. Shouldn't there be a counter to prevent an infinite loop?
if [ -n $pid ]; then
while kill -0 $pid 2>/dev/null; do
