This really shouldn't be the case and I cannot reproduce it.  I would
really love to see a reproducible case if you can provide a short script
or the like that creates one.

Are you sure that new servers are not starting up between when you issue
the killall and look for new processes?  Try taking inetd down before
issuing the killall.

You do mention 30 seconds - that's how long CVS waits for locks by
default, but I don't think this should be a problem.  I think SIGTERM
should wake your processes from their sleep to exit.
