> You can't kill a zombie process, it's already dead!

I've been told that a zombie process hangs around until init decides to
get off its ass and remove it from the process list.  I'm not sure how
often init does this, or if there is some way of forcing init to do it.
I've had zombie processes stick around for months on end, until the next
reboot.
