[Xapian-discuss] scriptindex + zombie processes

[Jim Spath]

Last night we experienced a problem with scriptindex where it spawned 
many (80 or so) zombie processes.  This same problem occurred earlier 
this month as well, and also a couple of times in January.  It actually 
spawned hundreds of these processes during these previous occurrences.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

scriptindex has generally been quite well behaved for us, we run it 
almost constantly, so we're not quite sure what triggers the problem.

Thanks!
Jim
