I have noticed that I often have a zombie netstat process which is a child
of my evolution process. I got curious, and found that the Mozilla NSS
library runs "netstat -ni" when generating entropy, and does not properly
collect the child at exit. This is a known NSS bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51429
It looks like a patch was recently committed for this bug.
