I forgot to mention, that the process was running under Solaris 8. The PID
that was claimed to be a zombie was a single javaprocess (not a thread
that had been forked by a parent-process).

Next time, we'll have to try and gdb/strace it, but I wasn't too bright at
2.30AM ;-)

What also came to my mind (And what Jani suggested earlier) is that if
this is the wanted behaviour, why not add a statement such as alertmax or
similar that would limit the amount of alerts monit sends.
