Subject: tracehook breaks dhcpcd child processing
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2008 17:57:22 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080819155722.GA25695@basil.nowhere.org> (raw)


[Rafael, one entry for the regression list]

Roland,

The opensuse 11.0 dhcpcd keeps accumulating zombies of its child scripts
with 2.6.27-rc*. 2.6.26 didn't have this problem. After one night I had more 
zombies than normal processes.

I bisected it down to

commit 2b2a1ff64afbadac842bbc58c5166962cf4f7664

    tracehook: death

causing the problem. Please fix.
