In fact, a zombie process is not a process anymore. It does not prevent your
from restarting new instance of mpd5. Did you look at ps output to check real
state of mpd5 or tried to restart it?

Also, a process may become a zombie only if it did not detach properly at start
as normal daemons do (and mpd5 does it) AND its parent does not properly reap
its children. init(8) does it just fine for normal daemons including mpd5.

Do you run mpd5 in detached mode using -b flag? If so, I highly doubt it became
a zombie. More likely, it could stuck in some uninterruptable system call but
that's pretty unusual too.

If you run mpd5 in "foreground" mode using another supervising daemon like
init(8) itself, that's another story.

And what did you have in the log of mpd5 corresponding that time?
You showed no diagnostics: ps -l output, mpd logs, kernel dmesg logs,
something?

And system reboot cleans it all, so it seems you had some external problem just
that took more time to disappear and second reboot just gave it that time.
