Ok, netscape has crashed again, this time hitting d-state, and refusing
to die. I tried restarting it twice before doing a 'ps ax', and
realising what it was doing.
now, kill -9 `ps ax | grep netscape | cut -f 1 -d ' '` isn't killing
them, they seem to change pids when given a SIGKILL.
If anyone knows how to remove these evil zombies, I'd like to hear it.
oh, and heres the output of 'ps ax', just to see what they're doing:
