Sorry, replying too soon before fully investigating.  They *are* forking over and over again repeatedly as fast as possible… making them hard to kill.  They fork a child and the parent exits immediately..  and that repeats endlessly.  My VM is too slow right now that even a tight pkill loop doesn't hit them before they've forked again.

Only recourse may be to reboot my VM.
