Zombies from run-parts
The attached "ps axf" output is from a machine running the latest woody setup.
It's running 2.4.20 on a SMP machine.
run-parts doesn't seem to be waiting on child processes, does anyone have an
idea why?
I haven't filed a bug report because I'm sure that if this was a simple bug in
run-parts then it would have been fixed long ago, so I'm sure that it must be
something more complex.
If anyone has any suggestions then please let me know. I've left the machine
in the same state so that I can run any tests you suggest.
