hi
here is the example

;; idl 8.4 on ubuntu 12.04

i = idl_idlbridge() ;; it's pid = 5390
spawn, 'kill -9 5390'

then zombie process is created.
;;ps -ef | grep defunct | grep -v grep

is this normal situations??

I'm not sure if it's "normal" or not. But I don't think you should be doing this type of thing. You're probably better off by killing the process within IDL using the normal object methods and not using spawn. At least that's what I've done and never had problems, but I guess that's before the object interfaces.
