I'm not sure about that. nthreads == 0 should just mean that the
process's threads have all exited, not that the zombie process is
about to be reaped by a wait*() call. It will probably be reaped
soon, but not necessarily... it depends on when the user process
actually calls wait*().
What we might have to do instead is add another process flag, say
PREAPING, which would be set in kern_wait() somewhere around line
838 (just after it gets p->p_token). Even then we might want it
to show up in the ps in case it gets stuck during the exit, so it
isn't an invisible stuck process.
