Debugging tips:

1. What's the parent pid of your zombies?  Is it a browser process or
something else?

2. Temporarily move /bin/ps to /bin/ps.real, and at /bin/ps put a
small script that writes the full argument list and maybe other
debuggery to a log file somewhere, and then invokes /bin/ps.real.  For
example:

#!/bin/sh
(date ; echo ${$} ${PPID} "$...@}") >> /tmp/pslog.${EUID}
exec ${0}.real "$...@}"

Then, using the logged data, you'll see what arguments ps is being
invoked with, and you'll be able to look to see where we make those ps
calls in our own code (if it's even happening in our own code).

3. Try to reproduce it in a developer build instead of a released
official build.  You'll need to reproduce it to know if you've fixed
it once you think you've figured it out.

h-n-y,
Mark
