1 Hi,
2
3 I wonder how one can make a zombie process go away. I have a zombie from
4 mozilla and several zombies from some C++ codes that ran for some time. I
5 killed all mozilla processes, but there is still a "mozilla-bin <defunct>"
6 in my processes list.

8 Any ideas why this is and how this can be dealt with? Is this an
9 application bug? Does this have to do with the kernel?
