Public bug reported:

I used mogrify to scale a bunch of images on an SD card. The command I
used was:

mogrify -monitor -scale 800  <VERY long file list>

"ps aux | grep mogrify" reports:
sean     25292 59.0  0.0  17684  1328 ?        R    Feb06 5954:27 mogrify 
-monitor -scale 800  <VERY long file list>

Neither of the following has any effect, with or without root privileges
kill -9 25292
killall -KILL mogrify

It uses 99% (system) of the CPU consistently.
I tried using "strace" on it, but strace produces no output and can 
subsequently be killed only by SIGKILL.

Ubuntu Version:
Description:    Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release:        8.04

I assume I forgot to unmount the SD card, but I expected the process to
be killed anyway, which it was not.
