Leonard,

if "kill pid" doesn't succeed in killing a process, then "kill -9 pid"
should kill the process. 

In your case, the zombie processes may still be trying to either talk to a 
devide driver,
such as "xw", "gf" or "ps", or waiting for a response from the message queue
(the ipcs command will show message queues in use).

I cannot tell you at what point you ran out of resources. If your script is 
unable to
connect to a DISPLAY that it was using, then that would be a problem. 
Otherwise, the use of cntl-C
is bad since it doesn't remove the message queues.

After running "cleanup -c" if message queues still exist, and gplt and devices
still exist, then a reboot is the simplest solution- but you still need to
examine the running plot script to determine if the error condition still 
exists.
