AFAIK the init (pid=1) process should take care of these and make them quit "correctly". I know that when zombies show up, the initiating application is to blame but in the real world, I need a stable server where I don't run out of PIDs after just few hours :-(. Someone else was having the same problem with lighttpd. See the text and patch at http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/ticket/978 to get more info. Sincerely Radek Podgorny
