Yeah, but this means each seperate xfstt instance does not share it's
bitmap/metric caches,
root 509 0.0 35.4 99640 22428 ? S May 15 0:44 /usr/bin/X11/xfstt
I'd hate to have more than one of those monsters around! Incedently, I
think xfstt has a memory leak. 99M of ram is a bit high.
To fix your zombie problem you should IGNORE sigchld or arrange for wait
to be called (but not in the signal handler)
