I can't understand your question here. Did you notice the parent,
/sbin/init? Isn't the job of init to finish zombies? The process isn't
actually running, ktrace produces zero lentgh file - but somewhere in
kernel (?) it is considered running - why? If it is kblanscrn.kss who
sucks, why it doesn't even do NOOP?
