FVWM: how to kill an interactive shell?

I know it's pretty insane to start an interactive shell in fvwm2
directly, but it would be nice if you could kill it nicely afterwards.

Executing next line in fvwm2 causes a freeze:

Exec read foo

I switched to the console, tried to kill the sh process with INT, HUP,
KILL with no success. After KILL ps tells that the process is defunct,
but I still can't continue working. Only killing fvwm2 with KILL
"works", but I'd prefer not to do that.

Is it hard to make fvwm2 a little more foolproof? ;-p

Regards,

Tung
