[Mono-list] xsp/mod_mono and zombie processes

[Jurek Bartuszek]

Hi again,

I think I mentioned this problem here a while ago but got no response,
so I've decided to post a message about it once more. The problem is
that every time an asp.net request is successfully processed (e.g.
accessing http://localhost/~user/index.aspx), some new zombie processes
are being listed in the list of processes:

apache   11497  0.2  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    19:00   0:01 [mono]
<defunct>
apache   11502  0.3  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    19:00   0:01 [mono]
<defunct>

after accessing an aspx page again:


apache   11497  0.2  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    19:00   0:01 [mono]
<defunct>
apache   11502  0.2  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    19:00   0:01 [mono]
<defunct>
apache   11782  2.1  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    19:07   0:00 [mono]
<defunct>
apache   11786  2.7  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    19:07   0:01 [mono]
<defunct>
apache   11791  3.1  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    19:07   0:01 [mono]
<defunct>

and again:

apache   11497  0.2  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    19:00   0:01 [mono]
<defunct>
apache   11502  0.2  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    19:00   0:01 [mono]
<defunct>
apache   11782  2.1  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    19:07   0:00 [mono]
<defunct>
apache   11786  2.7  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    19:07   0:01 [mono]
<defunct>
apache   11791  3.1  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    19:07   0:01 [mono]
<defunct>
apache   11812  3.0  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    19:07   0:00 [mono]
<defunct>
apache   11815  6.9  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    19:07   0:02 [mono]
<defunct>

as you can see, sometimes it's 1, sometimes 2 and sometimes 3 new zombie
processes per request (note that accessing the same page twice doesn't
generate new zombies, I have to go to another, not yet visited
application). What's wrong?
