Definitely not zombie processes. When you have time, you might want to
read up on what zombie processes in Unix are.
As to you not noticing yet accumulating two processes, this means that
you're not checking what else is going on on the system before you start
your jobs. You should. As a minimum, type "w" before starting a job -
you'd see that there's already load on the system, and you'd need to
check what causes it.
