Package: thttpd Version: 2.21b-11.2 Severity: normal Tags: woody Hi,
while investigating a patch for 236329, I discovered that thttpd creates a number of threads to satisfy the requests and these turn into zombie processes after the request is done. From "top": 26743 www-data 15 0 824 824 592 S 0.0 0.1 0:00 thttpd 3718 www-data 10 10 0 0 0 Z N 0.0 0.0 0:00 thttpd <defunct> 3719 www-data 15 10 0 0 0 Z N 0.0 0.0 0:00 thttpd <defunct> I'm not sure this is a bug - the zombies get cleaned up after a few minutes. But I thought I would report it, as this seems odd behaviour for a server that is supposed to thrive under high load. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux debacle 2.4.26-1-686 #1 Sat Aug 7 00:33:47 CEST 2004 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages thttpd depends on: ii debconf 1.0.32 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.2.5-11.8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii logrotate 3.5.9-8 Log rotation utility ii mime-support 3.18-1.3 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
