RE: Unkillable Background process "SHUTDOWN ABORT LEAVES UNKILLAB

I suppose it's way too late for this, but did you check to see if the shared memory is still active using "ipcs -a"? And if so, kill it with "ipcrm". I've seen this before, but it was 7.x or 8.0 (I've got a good memory, but it's short).
