Welcome to the hunt of "phoenix" groups.  

I usually chase them by listing zombies with `A z', then `C-k' on the
zombie group I want to get rid of.  If I want to kill all of them, then
`S z' is there.  If the phoenix group is not in the zombie list, I do a
`A k' and kill it there.  I carefully save with `s'.  

Yes, this is somewhat a random hunt.  Any cleaner method would help.
