Sorry about this, but I grabbed the wrong "ps ux" line. I followed up with the real zombie:
ml267 290 0.1 0.0 5128 0 ? DW Oct10 2:18 [enlightenment]
I was just merrily doing regular tasks: cruising the net with a netscape, over ssh, and chatting with people on a BBS, and suddenly my window manager stopped responding. I tried to close it, but it refused to respond, then I tried all the different kill signals, and none of them helped. With no other choice, I hit Ctrl-Alt-Bksp. I successfully broke out of X, but after that, I found that the zombie is now a child of init in the ps tree.
