sometimes will continuously spawn 'sh'

[DAP]

Binary package hint: cameramonitor

Occasionally my system will boot up where there is a 'sh' process in system monitor that is listed as a zombie with a continuously incrementing ID.
I finally tracked this down today to being caused by the "Camera Monitor" panel applet:
excerpt from ps auxf

user 2956 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 11:51 0:00 | \_ [sh] <defunct>
