Program turns into zombie after crash

I have a problem with a server I wrote using FPC.

This is a server for a game, which sometimes crashes (every 5 or 6
hours of uptime). While of course I'm going to try to fix the crash,
right now I've setup a bash script that runs the server again once it
crashes.

This works fine in my Linux laptop, I can leave it connected to
internet, wait one week and the server will still running even after
crashing a couple times.

However when deploying to a cloud server via DigitalOcean, once the
server crashes it seems to remain in a blocked/zombie state, where no
output appears, but also it never returns to the shell, so the script
to restart it never is executed.

Anyone has a clue why this could happen?
