   1.  [Digital]  When you enter a ps command while running an application
       that forks child processes, you might see some child processes listed
       as being in the <defunct> state after they have exited.  Processes in
       this state cannot be killed until the process that forked them is
       killed.

       [Digital]  The system puts exiting child processes in the <defunct>
       state if their parent process is still running and has not caught the
       SIGCHLD signal or executed a wait() system call.

       [Digital]  To avoid having users encounter this problem when they run
       your application, make sure that your program logic either catches the
       SIGCHLD signal or executes a wait() system call when spawning a child
       process.
