I started a new session just minutes ago. The process that parses my
data and pipes commands to gnuplot happened to have a PID of 5240. ps
indicated that PID 5240 was defunct, and all the other information
appears the same (though the timestamp is now a date). Although the
process was not actually defunct, I killed that session and started a
new one. The process with the same name of course has a new PID, but
it is /not/ listed as defunct. Whatever is the cause of the first
defunct processes, it seems [to me] that the more recent ones have a
different cause.
