Did you try a "killall -9 khttpd?"  Sending signal 9 is supposed to work
in nearly every case.  It kills a process ungracefully, so it is supposed
to be a last resort.  For example, sending it to an editor would kill the
editor without giving it a chance to save any recovery information and any
changes to a file would be lost.
