maxima is eating up all the memory

I am running a sage script that uses maxima_methods().exponentialize(). I have a time out wrapper that kills the sage after a specific amount of time say 20 secs. Normamly when I kill sage, the associated process including maxima are killed. But, in a case, it kills the sage but not the associated maxima process. And the maxima process is eating up all the memory. Any way to kill that associated maxima process when I kill the sage script. Shoud I need to change/tweak anything in the file sage/interfaces/maxima.py
