You know this, but a defunct listing means that a process terminated,
but wasn't reaped by it's parent process.  Unless that parent process
crashed hard I can't remember seeing that happen in Cygwin, which is why
I thought it noteworthy.

I killed make because I forgot to add a variable definition on the
command line.  Only later did I find it left that zombie git process
that should have been terminated with it (I know it was associated with
that particular make invocation by its start time).
