I updated to stable yesterday, plus updated all my porst to the latest pecompiled packages, but I am now seeing odd problems with bash on exit. Sometimes it quits, but leaves a zombie process... e.g PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND 44308 v0 IW 0:00.00 -bash (bash) 44312 v0 IW+ 0:00.00 /bin/sh /usr/local/bin/startx -listen_tcp 44325 v0 IW+ 0:00.00 xinit xterm -listen_tcp -- /usr/local/bin/X :0 -auth /ho 44328 v0 IW 0:00.00 /usr/local/bin/wmaker 44340 v0 S 0:03.35 /usr/local/bin/wmaker --for-real 49101 0- Z+ 0:02.73 <defunct> 49314 1- Z+ 0:00.17 <defunct> 56068 2 Ss 0:00.01 bash 56498 2 R+ 0:00.00 ps 56074 3 Is 0:00.01 bash 56076 3 S+ 0:00.00 mail freebsd-stable at freebsd.org 56308 4 Is+ 0:00.01 bash Thats the current 'ps' on this machine. The bash processes are running inside an xterm, so am not sure if the issue is with bash or the terminal. Kind of puzzled! -pete.
