I was happy to see incron back in Debian. But although it seems incredible, this bug which was signaled aroud four years ago (or more), and which is severe because it can (and has, in my case) crash a system, is still unfixed. A fix has been written years ago, but was never pushed to the final code.
I installed incron in Debian 11, version 0.5.12-3~bpo11+1, the last one, and the bug is still there. Each call to incron leaves behind a zombie process until either incron stops working (when the maximum of 2319 tasks is reached) or the system crashes because there is no memory left. Just run service incron status, after some calls to incron, the processes are very visible.
