+QEMU processes started by Acceptance Tests are left running
+
+Every now and then, QEMU processes started by the Acceptance Tests (thus by Avocado) will be left running.
+
+From Avocado's perspective, when everything "goes well" and a test reaches completion, there's no attempt to terminate any processes it indirectly started.  Some frameworks and tests built on top of Avocado, for instance Avocado-VT, will keep processes running between various tests.
+
+When a job (and consequently a test) is manually interrupted, then Avocado tries to terminate the entire process tree. 
+
+It may be possible to improve the situation in which, at the very least, the user is:
+ * notified of left over processes
+ * have a configuration option that will attempt to kill all processes at the end of the test execution
