mplayerplug-in leaving zombies

Hi,

As you may remember, my application uses the mplayer plug-in to display
television channels.  I am conducting some testing where my code continuously
changes the television channel on a delay loop.  The channel is changed by
calling Stop(), SetURL(), and then Play().

I find that zombie processes are not being cleaned up properly.  I'm also seeing
a hard lock-up on the machine after about 20 minutes or so, although it is not
clear to me that those zombies would cause this.

I see a SIGCHLD signal handler in plugin-threads.cpp, however, it doesn't look
like it is actually being registered.  What is the status of this?

Thanks again for your time.

-Forest
