frozen application resistant to kill command

Hello everybody: Sometimes I can't kill frozen apps with using kill command. Last time amule freezed. What I get after kill: @linux:~> ps -e |grep amule 15600 pts/2 00:00:51 amule @linux:~> kill 15600 @linux:~> kill 15600 @linux:~> ps -e |grep amule 15600 pts/2 00:00:51 amule @linux:~> kill -9 15600 @linux:~> kill -9 15600 @linux:~> ps -e |grep amule 15600 pts/2 00:00:51 amule @linux:~> Why is this and how can I stop it w/o rebooting?
