Every time I tun top I see there's a zombie process. This cut & paste
was taken immediately after a reboot:

Tasks:  97 total,   3 running,  92 sleeping,   0 stopped,   2 zombie
Cpu(s):  2.7% us,  2.7% sy,  0.0% ni, 78.7% id, 14.7% wa,  0.0% hi,  1.3% si,
Mem:    255780k total,   251692k used,     4088k free,      784k buffers
Swap:   522104k total,    88148k used,   433956k free,    55092k cached

How can I track down what's zombie-fied because I presume it's not a good thing?

Regards,
Phill
