On Jython 2.7b3 `Popen.kill` is just an alias for `Popen.terminate`. This is fine on Windows (tested on Win7) where the latter will always kill the process. Elsewhere (tested only on Linux) JVM correctly sends SIGTERM which isn't always enough. This is highly related to `Popen.send_signal` only supporting SIGTERM currently: http://bugs.jython.org/issue2219
