i've got that 'problem' too:

 1822 ?        Ssl   31:02 /usr/bin/mythfrontend.real --logfile
/var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log
 1927 ?        Z      0:00  \_ [mythfrontend.re] <defunct>
 1929 ?        Z      0:00  \_ [mythfrontend.re] <defunct>
 1931 ?        Z      0:00  \_ [mythfrontend.re] <defunct>
