So then, it has nothing to do with the fact that you're running PHP in a 
completely different mode from the way mod_php would run it?  That you're 
using the command line binary rather than a shared library which does not 
fork at all, therefore cannot possibly create a zombie process?  It can't 
possibly be a PHP bug or a badly written script.

No, it simply must be suPHP's fault.  Of course.  *headdesk*
