A zombie channel has nothing to do with a process. It was an artefact
of an internal process known as a masquerade. While masquerades do
sometimes still occur in Asterisk 12+, they are far less frequent and
are no longer externally visible.

Why do you think you have zombie processes? Asterisk does use a large
number of threads, but generally rarely forks processes unless you are
using something like original AGI.
