Is "Force Quiting" the same, as e.g. pulling a device? Of course your  
quitting the app, but the system still keeps running (of course). So  
what happened with data that is in e.g. write cache will this finally  
written trough the disk due to the system or is all this killed by the  
"Force Quit" on the application?

My long term experience on REAL issues on production system is that  
more than 75% are caused by physical issues and not by crashing the db  
app or the OS. I'm afraid you're not able to emulate this by "Force  
Quit".

But to use an old HP slogan: "No Risc/k no fun" ;-)))
