Zombie app

Hi all. I just ran my product application from Xcode. It crashed, and gdb attached to it. I typed "q" and hit return. gdb said:

Detaching from process 46615 thread 0x10b.

The Debugger has exited with status 0.

My app is now sitting in the Dock, hung. Doing "force quit" on it doesn't kill it. Xcode's "tasks" stop sign is dimmed; it doesn't think the app is running any more. Is there a way to kill this process? Or, given that I won't even be able to restart my machine because this zombie will prevent the restart from going through, do I have to power-cycle my machine??

And what should I do in future to avoid this outcome? Xcode 3.1.1, OS X 10.5.8.

  Thanks!
