Summary: check_procs cannot detect zombies on AIX

Initial Comment:
./check_procs -s Z -v  
Not parseable: Z           188558   98382            
<defunct> <defunct>
Not parseable: Z           196776   98382            
<defunct> <defunct>
PROCS OK: 0 processes with STATE = Z


should return 2 zombies - AIX lists them as <defunct>
