Hi all:

    I am on a DEC 3000 Model 400 running OSF/1 v3.0. It seems to me
that "kill -STOP" on a foreground job will kill the job instead of
just stopping it. What makes it more unpleasant is that, all sorts
of <defunct> processes are left around:

<33 collie:~ >ps -ef | grep sherry
sherry 17005 1 0.0 - ?? 0:00.00 <defunct>
sherry 17292 17005 0.0 16:01:02 ?? 0:19.15 cat /dev/zero

    Top will show some dead processes:

17005 sherry 0 0 0K 0K dead 0:00 0.00% <dead>

    Is this a bug or a feature? Should I send some other signals
instead of SIGSTOP?

    Any suggestions will be appreciated.


Sherry
