Solaris is System V based, and SYSV has a slightly different philosophy regarding the reaping of processes than BSD variants do. A lpr replacement package I use (LPRng) is built to compile on many systems, and the solitary compile-time option is ZOMBIE which I assume addresses this problem. Unfortunately, I'm not as educated on this subject as I would like to be :), perhaps someone on the list can give you a more technical explanantion.
