A process cannot be "trying" to exit with a kill -KILL like he had sent,
regardless of the number of child processes or the state of the child
processes.  There's something else going on if it is a system issue at all.

Also, how will killing a child process possibly -eliminate- zombies, unless
the child itself is a parent to a zombie process?
