Solaris 9 processes that just won't die

Hi All

We're having serious issues with processes that will not die.
Our developers are running builds, on a group of 4 Solaris 9 machines.

# more /etc/release
                        Solaris 9 4/03 s9s_u3wos_08 SPARC
           Copyright 2003 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
                        Use is subject to license terms.
                           Assembled 25 February 2003
                     Solaris 9 Maintenance Update 4 applied
#
Some of these processes start running at priority zero.
We try to kill them with kill -9 pid, but it doesn't work.
We have tried to renice the processes to a lower priority, but it doesn't work.

We aren't getting much help from SUN.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, as constant reboots are causing a lot of disturbance.

Best Rgds
Rob
