I was looking into solving the following problem.

An ez user starts up a print job
but has insufficient swap space.
The print job silently dies.
The user waits forever.

I was going to add code to handle SIGCHLD, but I see there is already
extensive code that does just what I was going to write in the guise of
AddZombieHandler.

Do you know where this code is used, so I can see an example?

Do you see any problems with using this inside print?
