Re: "Indeed rebooting your phone will terminate all processes running on the phone. This should be pretty obvious."
Not so obvious. When you reboot OS X version 10.7, it restarts all of the processes that where running when you rebooted it (and loads all of the files you were looking at) - so in that operating system, the only way to shut down an errant application is to track it down and kill it.

Not really. 10.7 relaunches the app, but doesn't load up an image of the previously-loaded executable image and restore the program counter or anything -- after a reboot you don't get restored right back into an infinite loop bug; the program has been restarted, and the OS just asked it to re-open any files it was using before.
