Stuck tape

Hello all,

I have a process that is running and has a <defunct> child that is
locking up a tape drive. I can not kill the parent or child to unlock
the drive. Any suggestions on how to kill the parent process. I have
used kill -9 and tried the carious kill SIG. I am at a loss and would
rather kill the process than reboot the server to clear this up. This is
on a solaris 8 machine.

Thank You

Will McCorkle
