Re: runit not collecting zombies

Hi!

And, Charlie, I wish to repeat this again: forget about ssh. This issue
isn't related to ssh itself. Look:

# ps -ef axf | tail -n 2
sshd     14804     1  0 13:50 ?        Z      0:00 [sshd] <defunct>
sshd     14926     1  0 15:23 ?        Z      0:00 [sshd] <defunct>

# perl -e 'fork || sleep 1; print "pid $$ exit\n"'
pid 14953 exit
# pid 14954 exit

# ps -ef axf | tail -n 3
sshd     14804     1  0 13:50 ?        Z      0:00 [sshd] <defunct>
sshd     14926     1  0 15:23 ?        Z      0:00 [sshd] <defunct>
root     14954     1  0 15:31 pts/1    Z      0:00 [perl] <defunct>

Starting from some point (usually after 2-7 days uptime), process N1 stop
reaping zombies. Any zombies. After that point. That's all. Nothing about
ssh in this equation.

Looks like that point happens on some Gentoo installations after 25 May,
and don't happens on many other systems over the world.
