I'm running Executor/Linux 1.99q on my FreeBSD (2.1R) box, using 
FreeBSD's Linux compatibility module.  When I quit Executor, the 
processes do not die (i.e. they still remain running or maybe zombied -- 
I can't tell).  For example:

ncc-1701-d:24% ps aux | grep -i execu
d_burr   18876 95.2  0.1     0    0 v0  Z    -          0:00.00  (executor)
d_burr     522 86.2  0.1     0    0 v0  Z    -          0:00.00  (executor)
d_burr     464 80.8  0.1     0    0 v0  Z    -          0:00.00  (executor)
d_burr     396 64.8  0.1     0    0 v0  Z    -          0:00.00  (executor)
d_burr     325 45.4  0.1     0    0 v0  Z    -          0:00.00  (executor)
d_burr     324  0.0  0.0  4828    0 v0  IW   12:31AM    0:00.26 executor
d_burr     395  0.0  0.0  4828    0 v0  IW   12:38AM    0:00.20 executor
d_burr     463  0.0  0.0  4828    0 v0  IW   12:42AM    0:00.19 executor
d_burr     521  0.0  0.0  4828   36 v0  IW   12:49AM    0:00.19 executor
d_burr   18875  0.0  0.0  4828  292 v0  IW    1:22AM    0:00.22 executor

I'm not quite sure where to point the proverbial finger here.  Is this a 
FreeBSD bug, a Linux emulator bug, an Executor bug, or some bizarre 
combination?  Any ideas on if it's fixable, or how to fix it?  or if it 
will be fixed?

I'd also like to put in a vote to the ARDI folks to get a FreeBSD-native 
version of Executor going -- it would fix little things like this (and maybe 
not so little things) and run much faster.  Barring that, please continue to 
support the Linux a.out format -- FreeBSD probably won't be supporting 
ELF for a very long time, if at all.

Thanks!
