Food for thought here.

“Zombie” actually has a specific meaning that doesn't apply here. The
problem that people have been reporting is that Growl on the receiving
computer will hang; you can just say that, and it'll be correct.
I've filed a bug for the hang:

If Growl is hung, that will not work. It would need to respond to the
Quit Apple Event, and a hung process isn't responding to any Apple
Events.
