Could you try updating your sage Python library and trying
again.  I've improved the process monitor some just now.

  (1) start SAGE:

    sage

  (2) type "hg_sage.pull()"

  (3) type "hg_sage.merge()"   # probably isn't necessary

  (4) type "hg_sage.update()"

  (5) type "hg_sage.ci()"      # probably not necessary

  (6) quit sage, then type "sage -br" (this will take a few minutes),
      then try your example again.

I modified sage/interfaces/monitor.py to use os.system, since I found
that the monitor processes weren't correctly starting using spawn (except
on OS X).

Another good test that zombie killing is working is to do this:

    cd <SAGE_ROOT>/devel/doc/tut
    <SAGE_ROOT>/sage -t tut.tex

and see if a lisp.run is left running afterwards.
