When using httpx's screenshot params, it creates a lot of zombie processes that can't be killed.

When I use httpx's screenshot function to get website images in bulk, the process generates a lot of zombie processes, and after a large number of zombie processes have appeared, I can no longer create the httpx task, and report an error: runtime: failed to create new OS thread (have 19 already; errno=11)

Hi! Could you tell us some more information?

• what's the full command?
• what OS are you using?
• what version of httpx are you running?

Thanks!

Hi~ here is my information:
Full command: httpx -title -duc -tech-detect -no-stdin -status-code -fr -nf -json -ss -u http://example.com
OS Version: Linux 1b10610f65fd 6.1.0-kali5-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.12-1kali2 (2023-02-23) x86_64 GNU/Linux
httpx version: v1.3.4

@MetzinAround In fact, I'm having this problem when I run the latest version of httpx on a debain machine to get a snapshot. It looks like httpx doesn't wait for the chrome process to finish, so the process is never released.
