asterisk users - Aug 2003 - Asterisk agi interface leaves zombie processes?

Hi-

Asterisk (CVS 7/30/03) seems to leave my AGI processes (written in Perl) as
"zombies", even though they exit normally with exit(0).  I am running
Red
Hat 9.

I tried the same AGI etc with an older CVS (7/1/03) and this does not
happen.

I think a zombie process is a process that doesn't release some resource
(shared memory, etc), so I'm worried about this since I call my AGI once per
incoming call.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks
Scott

This is a known problem.  I have the same situation with RH9 as you do. 
  I don't know if the problem has been added to the new bug tracking 
system. We should check.

My workaround is to run the AGI scripts on a RH7 box and forward calls 
using IAX.
