Sorry, typing mistake. Here is cut'paste version:

[denis@marvin havlik]$ ps ax|grep nets 
27851 ?  Z 0:00 [netscape <defunct>] 
27864 pts/2 S 0:00 grep nets

<netscape (still) works OK. Let's kill it ;-> > 

[denis@marvin havlik]$ kill -9 27851 
[denis@marvin havlik]$ killall -9 netscape 

<nothing happens>

[denis@marvin havlik]$ ps ax|grep nets 
27851 ?  Z 0:00 [netscape <defunct>] 
27867 pts/2 S 0:00 grep nets

Netscape does not even notice I have tried to kill it. Obviously, the
netscape pretends to be a library, or the library thinks it is a netscape.
Whatever - it stinks. And, yes I know that I can kill the netscape by
killing the library, but it stinks nevertheless.
