This is on a system running CURRENT (7.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #0: Thu Jan 25 20:30:57 EST 2007) When I close linux opera, a zombied process remains. The parent PID is 1. Each time I open and then close opera, one and sometimes two, zombied processes remain. Therefore, if I've been browsing the web on and off for awhile, and do a pgrep opera, I might have a list of 20 or more PIDs, all zombies. Removing the compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 line in /etc/sysctl.conf fixes the problem. (I haven't had this issue with acrobat or any other linux based processes--hrm, on the other hand, I think the only ones I use are opera and acrobat. ) Thanks for any pointers. At present, I've simply commented out the line in /etc/sysctl.conf -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6
