ctrl-C should work just fine.  When I rebuilt the handling of the  
various nfs/nullfs mounts in HEAD, I did run across a number of cases  
where filesystems would be left mounted, with potentially disastrous  
results when various rm -rf's did their job.

kill -9 is going to do a lot more than leave a lockfile around -- it  
*will* also leave filesystems mounted which could quite easily get  
wiped out (either via rm or double-mounting) on further runs.
