Trung, Mark: I did see ps zombies, but they were from my long-standing
chrome, not from chromebot. I'm on 10.5.8.
Kris: I'm pretty sure chromebot worked fine on the 249 branch, at least
until 2 weeks ago.
TVL: Time Machine is off
and /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist is modest. I run
chromebot with each chrome instance running with its own profile dir.
John: output of launchctl bslist over time attached. It goes from 196 to a
high of 244. Is this significant considering there are 20 instances of
chrome running? This number does however go down when chromebot kills some
chrome processes and then climbs back again when new instances are fired.

I did notice one other interesting thing related to ps. As long as chromebot
runs, there were a number of "stuck" (though not zombies) ps processes. Any
additional ps commands in terminal gets stuck too.
