As far as I could find by googling, this means that the process is
not actually a zombie yet, so it's not the postmaster's fault.

Apparently it's possible in some versions of AIX for an exiting process to
get stuck while releasing its reference to a socket, though I couldn't
find much detail about that.  I wonder how old your AIX is ...
