if the phantom is still running, I've found that any phantoms spawned by that phantom will not fully die until the parent phantom process is no longer.
if the parent phantom is a loop, which in it's loop spawns off the other phantoms, instead of repeating the loop, have it chain back to itself CHAIN "PHANTOM LOOPING-PHANTOM" That will end the original process, and any child processed spawned will return their process id's back to the system, otherwise you will eventually run into the unix problem of "new available processes", and the system will start to drrrraaaaaagggggggggg.
