The Zombie button in the CPU panel shows the number of terminated child processes that have not been acknowledged by their parent process.
A high level of zombie processes is indicative of the presence of an inferior program, or an entry in /etc/inittab (or equivalent) preventing init from completing its startup sequence.
The type of alarm that is activated is determined by the number of zombie processes waiting to be exited.
