first defunct process has arrived.
I am signed into 4 IRC channels automatically on startup. I have tried
to send my identify command to the NickServ
It has been noted on the developer site for Pidgin that 1 defunct is
normal for DNS lookups.

GLib issues seem to not be in play here. I'm going to let it run for a
few hours and see if I can get a few zombies spawned. I've been able to
