Linux client process will not exit after /quit.

[Quinton]

I've had this happen a few times in the last week or so. I /quit and the window doesn't go away. If I close the window using my window manager, the process behind it sticks around -- actually two processes, one zombie child and one parent that wedges at 99% CPU. Neither of these can be killed and I end up rebooting the machine to get rid of them.

Does this happen to anyone else?

Is there more specific information I could gather?

My NVIDIA driver is pretty old (almost a year?) and I'll try upgrading that, just in case. It's an elderly redhat 7.3 box
running a 2.4.x kernel.

Can you give more details? My production build server is a stock Redhat 7.3 box patched up to current against fedoralegacy... I do keep current nvidia drivers on it, mainly because of the opengl headers that I need for building... /quit works fine there... (granted slowly, but it works)

I'll get updated to the latest NVIDIA driver to start with. If I see the hang again, is there any more useful data I can provide beyond stdout/err chatter of the app, kernel, X, and driver versions, etc?

Machine hardware description will help as well
