I have seen errors where killed wine processes remained defunct even after their parent has died. They were rebooted to init, but still remained defunct. In certain (RedHat 2.4) kernels, such processes could even keep sockets bound to ports, requiring a reboot.
I had zombie process problems like that with Linux 2.6.[0-7] but they seem to have gone away in Linux 2.6.[89]. They tended to happen when wine-kthreads processes crashed.
