https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D213928 --- Comment #1 from commit-hook@freebsd.org --- A commit references this bug: Author: kib Date: Mon Dec 12 11:11:50 UTC 2016 New revision: 309886 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/309886 Log: When a zombie gets reparented due to the parent exit, send SIGCHLD to the reaper. The traditional reaper init(8) is aware of zombies silently reparented to it after the parents exit, it loops around waitpid(2) to collect them. For other reapers, the silent reparenting is surprising and collecting zombies requires a thread blocking in waitpid(2) just for that purpose. It seems that sending second SIGCHLD is a better workaround than forcing all reapers to obey the setup.
