This happens with Terminal.app and iTerm as well. I may be mistaken
but I think it is a launchd bug. The problem, in any case, seems to
get worse if I have a lot of launchd items or if one I made is
malfunctioning.
The problem is also exacerbated if one doesn't cleanly exit a shell
with the "exit" or "logout" command.
If you often terminate a session by other means, and type "w" you
will see a long string of (zombie?) processes. Short of rebooting, I
don't know how to get rid of them.
Perhaps if there is some way to get rid of those processes without
rebooting, it could be run at login (naturally, with yet another
launchd process).
