killing a process (again), ports

[Thufir]

I think that this process is causing problems:

thufir at arrakis:~$ 
thufir at arrakis:~$ 
thufir at arrakis:~$ sudo ps -ae | grep 5088
 5088 ?        00:02:14 java
thufir at arrakis:~$ 
thufir at arrakis:~$ sudo netstat -tanp | grep 80
tcp6       0      0 127.0.0.1:8006          :::*                    
LISTEN      5088/java       
tcp6       0      0 :::8009                 :::*                    
LISTEN      5088/java       
tcp6       0      0 :::8080                 :::*                    
LISTEN      5088/java       
thufir at arrakis:~$ 
thufir at arrakis:~$ sudo kill 5088 -9
kill: No such process
thufir at arrakis:~$ 
thufir at arrakis:~$ sudo ps -ae | grep 5088
 5088 ?        00:02:28 java
thufir at arrakis:~$

So, how do I free up that port?  Yes, I can change the port which tomcat 
runs on, but I'd rather just free up the port.  It gets "stuck" and the 
only way I can unfreeze this is to reboot.


thanks,
