[Mono-list] mod_mono causes "[mono] <defunct>" zombie processes

[Jurek Bartuszek]

Hi there,

I have a problem with mod_mono. Every time I access an .aspx web page 
hosted by mono, a new zombie process is shown in the list of processes:

apache   26531  0.1  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    18:26   0:00 [mono] 
<defunct>
apache   26551  0.2  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    18:26   0:01 [mono] 
<defunct>
apache   26554  0.2  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    18:26   0:01 [mono] 
<defunct>

After some time, apache refuses to serve asp.net applications anymore 
and I'm forced to restart it.

This behavior is independent of whether MonoRunXSP is set to True or 
False (mod-mono-server is started either manually or automatically).

Any ideas?

Best regards,
