Keep in mind that if you have a busy server, there can be a considerable delay between the time the process exit(2) and the time the parent calls wait(2). In that window of time, the process shows up as zombie. Once the parent calls wait(2), it gets cleaned up. If you only see one zombie, and each time you see it, you see its PID is different, don't worry about it.
