UML processes create threads on the host system that don't die. Threads are stuck at do_exit( ), so I backed out the patch to kernel/exit.c @ 539 (in 2.4.15pre5 patch): p->state = TASK_DEAD; and things work fine. I do not see zombies with anything other than UML processes/native threads. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
