It won't, but if you can fix it it will reduce the severity of your 
problem with runit process 1. If you fix your runsvdir related cron job 
problem (which leaves all the chpst zombies), then that will further 
reduce the severity of your problem.

Have you considered not running runit as process 1, until someone finds 
and fixes the zombie reaping problem?
