A few other things I've noticed:

- Sometimes the zombie processes will go away on their own, sometimes it
seems when you retry the MARC import or whatever it was that failed.  This
one is really weird to me as in all my years as a sysadmin I thought it was
not possible for zombie processes to go away without a reboot.  But maybe
that's changed and now zombies can rise from the dead.  Lol.

- In looking at the jobs list in Koha, it seems that Holds queue updates
are especially prone to getting stuck at a progress of null/1.

- If you reattempt a job that is stuck (ie, reattempting a MARC file upload
or what not) it will often succeed.  The original failed job remains with a
progress of null.
