ROFL :)

See your point. At least I can imagine that you don't need an additional 
heater in august ;)

I do not know such an option in Scid. However, I wonder if it's a bug in 
Rybka as Scid sends a proper quit signal to the engine once it is 
closed. On the other hand I confirm that I also get a <defunc> Shredder 
or Fruit process if I close the analysis window. These processes get 
removed once I either close Scid or restart the analysis engine.

E.g.

Analysis Engine 1: DeepShredder
[close]
leaves DeepShredder <defunc>

Analysis Engine 1: Fruit
DeepShredder is gone fruit is running
[close]
fruit <defunc>

and so on.

Note that I can do this with whatever engine I tried (crafty, glaurung, 
fruit, DeepShredder 11, Shredder 9, all native Linux and I've only one CPU).

Pascal: could it be that there's some pipe closed improperly keeping the 
processes hanging around?

Does this really remove the zombi process you get once you close the 
analysis window?
