*If* you can see a zombie named idlcpp as well, you stumbled over (i presume) some weird race in IPC of OO's sal/osl lib. I have seen this here ocassionally too, especially on a fast machine (quad opteron, 16G). The only way out of this is a kill -9 on the idlc and restarting the build. And stay in front of it just in case (the phase where it compiles idls is just a about ~ 30min). Ciao -Fritz
