>Description:
After starting the socks5 server in daemon mode and then you start a socks5 client say ICQ, a zombie process appears on the server. When you quit the application 2 more zombies appears. The same applies to MSN messenger. It starts without zombie but dies with leaving one.
When the quantity reaches 64 zombies no clients can connect to the socks5 server.
The socks5 server was compiled with --with-srvconffile and --with-srvpidfile. The version of the socks5 server is socks5 v1.0 release 11. The software was downloaded from www.socks.nec.com.
The kernel for FreeBSD was compiled without touching any options regarding the processes.
>How-To-Repeat:
Just start socks5 server as socks5 -b 1080. Then start ICQ client. You'll see immediatly one zombie process. Quit ICQ and 2 more zombies appears.
>Fix:
Not known yet.
