Ah, thats good to hear, as it means I am not going completely mad,
thanks! :)

As you can reproduce this, is it possible for you to find out
if the issue is with bash or xterm ? i.e. if you change the
shell to /bin/sh then does it still do it ? That would help
track it down...

Thats saved me a lot of time ;) I had this idea that zombies
will only go away on a reboot.
