When I start my LimeWire 2.2.4 using the LimeWire script file in the installation directory I get lots of "[sh <defunct>]" processes (79 actually).

These ones slows down the system and they wont die if I kill LimeWire. If I start LimeWire another bunch of them gets created and my system will become completly unworkable.

Have anyone else experienced such a problem and knows what the problem is and how it can be solved?

I have digged in on this problem some more and have noticed that it doesn't seem to be limewires fault but a gnome program called hyperbola (which is a internal program of nautilus). But this happens everytime I start limewire and I can clean up some of the trash by killing hyperbola.
