   | The bug is still there, in NetBSD 7.0.
 
 Actually, one other difference that we might have, is that while I
 tested with a 7.0_BETA /bin/sh I am running a current kernel.   If
 this is/was a sh bug that should make no difference, but it occurs
 to me that  you might be experiencing a version of the lost zombies
 kernel bug that Paul Goyette fixed late last year.
 
 Could you perhaps try running a current kernel, and test again, and
 see if the problem is still there for you?
 
 It might also be possible to run a recent 7.0_STABLE or even 7.0_PATCH
 kernel, but I did not keep track of the pullups for the fixes, so I
 am not certain that they are there (yet.)
