Well, I am still seeing zombies.   (And, were it not for their annoying propensity for playing the Thriller video at top volume all day and all night, I probably wouldn’t mind.   But the computer center operators are beginning to complain, and, well, I’ve always been a little suspicious of nighttime sysops, anyway...)

When I drop in to visit now and then, I see one or more zombie process-trees.   (These consist of the now-zombie processes started as CgiStaticServers, and their also-zombie children.)   Meanwhile, another process-tree is running merrily away.   (The site is up, but there are just these dead bodies everywhere, playing Michael Jackson videos.)   I can always get rid of them by kill -9 on the parent-zombies, but why isn’t Apache/mod_fastcgi cleaning them up?
