(Scary title, is not it?)

After watching some MPGs with the Linux binary-only mtvp (graphics/mtv
port) I noticed 40 zomby processes:

68278  p1  Z      0:00,00  (mtvp)
68279  p1  Z      0:00,00  (mtvp)
68280  p1  Z      0:00,00  (mtvp)
68281  p1  Z      0:00,00  (mtvp)
68283  p1  Z      0:00,00  (mtvp)
68284  p1  Z      0:00,00  (mtvp)
68285  p1  Z      0:00,00  (mtvp)

In all of them, init is already a parent:
root@aldan:~ (220) ps -alwwx | grep 68256
  105 68256     1   0  96  0     0    0 -      Z     p1    0:00,00  (mtvp)
    0 98924  5659   0  96  0   308   44 -      M+    p4    0:00,00 grep 68256
root@aldan:~ (221) ps -alwwx | grep 68276
  105 68276     1   0  96  0     0    0 -      Z     p1    0:00,00  (mtvp)
    0 98930  5659   2  -8  0  1200  166 piperd S+    p4    0:00,01 grep 68276
root@aldan:~ (222) kill -1 1
root@aldan:~ (223) ps -alwwx | grep 68276
  105 68276     1   0  96  0     0    0 -      Z     p1    0:00,00  (mtvp)
    0 98934  5659   0  96  0  1704  231 -      RV    p4    0:00,00 grep 68276 (csh)

What's going on? Also, file(1) calls them SYSV, rather than Linux
binaries, but that may well be correct. Yours,
