[Asterisk-Users] Fix for Redhat 9 zombie AGI processes
Hi all-
Thanks to Mark Spencer for finding this patch:
If you are experiencing leftover zombie processes from your AGI scripts that
have terminated, this is apparently due to a RedHat 9 threading issue
introduced in a recent update....
To get rid of this, try entering the following line before you start
asterisk:
    export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
It works for me - I'm still checking to see if there are any other side
effects - none yet..

[Asterisk-Users] Fix for Redhat 9 zombie AGI processes
Having similar problems with Debian Woody. Is this a known issue or
merely poorly written AGI scripts from my side?

I am glad I caught this... Is this a permanent solution or are there cvs updates that will address this? I am deploying a RH9 Asterisk server this Thursday I hope there are no surprises. I placed the export in my init.d/asterisk init script.....
