Bug description:
Using "terminator" always producing a zombie-process for each instant
i start

ps aux | grep terminator

top
Tasks: 136 total, 2 running, 131 sleeping, 0 stopped, 1 zombie
output of "pstree"
├─terminator─┬─bash─┬─pstree
│ │ └─terminator─┬─bash
│ │ ├─terminator
│ │ └─{terminator}
│ ├─bash───ssh
│ ├─terminator
│ └─2*[{terminator}]
├─terminator─┬─bash
│ ├─terminator
│ └─{terminator}
if i read the output from "pstree" correctly, terminator is always
starting two instances and one of them is a zombie
i cant find any disadvantages in the usage right know but i dont think this
should be normal to have a zombie-process
