I had been running this on a RedHat 6.0 system quite well, but I'd rather rid myself of that system ;-) Anyhow, I'm getting *lots* of zombie processes being left around after processing a few messages, and the number keeps growing. This did not happen on the "real" linux system. Is there some knob I can turn on in the linux compatibility system to get the zombies to be reaped properly? I have COMPAT_LINUX defined in my kernel so the linux compat is statically linked into the kernel. Thanks. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
