No, my script is not terminated before child.
It is waiting for child's output, actually (that's why I use
backquotes). And the problem is that it just keeps waiting forever,
even though the child process is dead, but it shows as "zombie". So I
just do not get it, the parent is explicitly waiting for the
result(output), but the child is zombie.
Any ideas how to dig this problem?
