It may not only be Virtualbox, but also happens under Vmware VMs.

I use Vmware Fusion 7 pro as my software build-host on top of my Mac
Pro for years now, but I can't build much with 13.0 cause regular
build processes (like sed, awk, grep, zsh) turn into zombies randomly.
Example shot from my private CI from yesterday:
http://s.verknowsys.com/12f14b0350ee3baeb8f153cd48764bc8.png

The issue doesn't happen on 12.2, 12.1, 12.0 or older releases.

I reported this issue (I'm testing it since 13-alpha) here:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D253718

In RC3 it feels it got even worse and happens even more often=E2=80=A6 It's=
 a
critical release blocker if you ask me=E2=80=A6

kind regards
Daniel
