This is a funny thing. But it gets even funnier - At my computer, it is
the Netscape which does it:
25879 ? S 0:01 /usr/i386-glibc20-linux/lib/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path
/usr/i386-glibc20-linux/lib /usr/lib/netscape/ne
25893 ? Z 0:00 \_[netscape <defunct>]
25894 ? S 0:00 \_ (dns helper)
Now, the best part is: Netscape is not defunct! It works OK at the moment,
but the system thinks it is "defunct". Look at this:
[denis@marvin havlik]$ killall -9 25893
25893: no process killed
"ps axwf" shows exactly the same process running as "defunct", yet I can
go on browsing with the netscape as if nothing happened. Now, this is what
I call weird.
