Hi,
The khubd kernel thread is still allowing zombie processes:

I am running Linux-2.4.5-SMP with < 1GB memory and devfs.
Unfortunately, I haven't worked out exactly what I'm doing to trigger
the creation of these zombies, but I think it is related to having the
sd_mod driver loaded but unused. (I have a 250 MB Zip drive, and these
zombies have appeared now that I've started to plug the thing in.)
Cheers,
Chris
