Of course, if the parent process was a daemon as so often happens with zombie tasks, you'll have to reboot to get rid of them.

[[ Thinking about it, my suggestion was not very useful. In most cases,
if an exiting process is lingering around for any length of time, it is
very likely because the process got hung up trying to flush an input or
output buffer for one of its open files (such as an open pseudo-terminal).
There's no way to get rid of those except to reboot the machine. --wnl ]]
