Package: bzflag
Version: 2.0.0.20050118
Followup-For: Bug #288684

I am guessing the original poster of this bug meant that the process 
remains running after the game has quit, as that is the behaviour I have 
observed.  We have two avid bzflag players in my family, and this is 
getting to be a real pain to deal with.  I have queried the players as 
to how they quit the game, and it seems they do it in the usual way (as 
opposed to ctrl-alt-backspace to kill the X session, or some other 
abnormal exit).  Because bzflag consumes large amounts of memory, and 
some CPU even though it is dead, I need to train my users to look for 
bzflag and kill it after their game is done.

Workaround:

If a fix isn't forthcoming, I may have to end up running it in a
wrapper, such as:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/games/bzflag "$@"
killall bzflag
