  Um.  I wonder if those processes are or aren't actually there.

  Isn't there something about bash keeping a pid table of recently-dead
kind-of-zombie processes hanging around for a while?  Do they show up in "ps"?
I have a vague memory but haven't tracked down the thread yet.  EB or CV might
be able to weigh in on this.
