I've updated my software and it still does it.

AFAIK, linvst needs to use the wait() syscall with fork/exec otherwise the wine process terminates but still keeps a few resources, mainly a PID. This is the reason for the zombie status of the terminated process. This could potentially be a problem if you have a lot of them as you could run out of possible PIDs for the system to use.

But like I said it's mainly cosmetic and I'm sure that osxmidi can easily fix it.
