Ohh. Okay, okay, I think we all agree with you about 'generating zombies'
is a Bad Thing (tm). But real world is slightly different from ideal world.
In real world we've a 'zombie processes', which are part of *NIX
architecture, and which can't be solved by just stopping generating
zombies - because there a lot of existing applications (like OpenSSH)
which already generate zombies, and because there exists some cases when
zombies may and will be generated anyway.
In this situation, the Right Thing is solve this issue between runit and
linux kernel.
So. If this is a race condition bug in linux kernel 2.6.20, how to debug it?
Maybe some sort of patch, which will add some debug printf()'s into both
kernel AND runit? Maybe this bug not in kernel, but in glibc's wrapper for
wait() or something else? I'm not a C programmer, so it's hard enough for
me to debug this myself. :(
