I thought it was removed when the parent process acknowledges the
process end via the wait() function.

This can be changed by using sigaction(). If SA_NOCLDWAIT is set, and
sig equals SIGCHLD, child processes of the calling processes will not be
transformed into zombie processes when they terminate.
