You can find what subprocesses are running inside Emacs by doing:

  ESC-: (process-list)

If there are run-away processes that shouldn't be there, you should either
kill the Emacs session and restart, or you can use your elisp knowledge to
`delete-process' all the offending subprocesses.  I don't know a better way.
