Last one, I promise!
Just checked on a friends 10.3.5 system and the issue with a zombie
processes process fields being nulled out (like ppid, uid, etc)
has been fixed. Not sure when this happened, but it was somewhere
between 10.2.6 (Darwin 6.6) and 10.3.5 (Darwin 7.5).
So if you see a zombie process with a PPID of '0', upgrade, and
that little issue will go away (ie. it will show the real PID of
the parent, not '0').
