i've got mrxvt-devel-0.5.4_1 on FreeBSD 7.2 and mrxvt is like a zombie 
machine. i've got hundreds of zombies and they're all owned by mrxvt:

// how many zombies?
% ps ajx | egrep -w Z | wc -l
      553

// what PID is the parent of those zombies?
% ps ajx | egrep -w Z | awk '{print $3}' | sort -u
776

// what process is that PID?
% ps x | egrep -w 776
   776  ??  S      1:47.13 /usr/local/bin/mrxvt

it seems like a good way to generate zombies is try using tab completion 
(bash-4.0.33, zsh-4.3.10_2). in other terminal emulators that doesn't 
cause problems. if anyone needs any more info, just let me know.

thanks...
