Zombie processes ...

[Marc G. Fournier]

I just upgraded my server to the latest STABLE, to see if it would get rid 
of the problems, but:

I have a cron job that actually retarts the server once an hour to get rid 
of them, else they fill up the server ...

Something I can look at / check?

Thanks ...
