No, I mean well and truly crashed... Netscape crashed and E closed the
windows, but there are now 3 d-state and 3 zombies of netscape on the
system.
But yeah, when it's crashed and left a window open, I kill it off with a
right-click to the close button, it sends a SIGKILL to netscape.
Unfortunately, it has gone way past that stage.
I am thinking the only way to get rid of zombies and d-states is to
reboot... but this is UNIX, dammit! There must be a way to clean up a
running system ;)
