**Haiku Nightly hrev53962 x86_64:**
Restarting the Media Server while MediaPlayer is playing a video will
cause media player to become a "zombie" program. The user is able to close
the frozen media player window but the MediaPlayer process will remain
active. Docker will show MediaPlayer in its tray. The user can not start a
new media player instance until the zombie process is killed.
**How to reproduce:**
1) play a video with MediaPlayer\\
2) restart the Media Server while MediaPlayer is playing the video\\
3) Close the frozen MediaPlayer window\\
4) MediaPlayer will remain active as a zombie / dead process\\
5) use a terminal to kill the process\\
