This one doesn't make a lot of sense to me.  You can't kill a zombie;
zombies are by definition already dead, and just hanging around until their
parent wait()'s for their exit status (or the parent dies, in which case
they're inherited by init, which will wait for them unless your system is
totally messed up).  The only resource a zombie occupies is a slot in your
process table.
