Sending Signals to Zombies

[Root Boy Jim]

There seems to be a cultural difference (BSD vs SV) on the
meaning of sending signals to zombie processes; System V
allows it while BSD does not.

To my mind, the operation seems meaningless; however, I can
see reasons (altho not very good ones) for either choice.
And it is bound to happen in practice, so a behavior
must be specified, even if it is undefined.

What does POSIX say about this, and what are some of the issues?
