And there's a helpful-looking page here:

   http://www.alexfedotov.com/articles/killproc.asp

which does suggest that even an admin might have to
enable the debug priv. Not quite clear why this would
be the case for a process you started yourself (as
opposed to, say, a service or other system proc.)
unless there's something in your setup which automatically
starts processes in some privileged mode?
