Hi all,
I just installed the Firefox update on a Fedora 7 box
(firefox-2.0.0.10-2). While using top, I noticed I had 76 zombie
processes. A little more digging revealed they were all mplayer
related. On a hunch, I closed firefox, and viola, all the zombie
mplayer processes disappeared.
After the update, wen I start firefox, I get a new mplayer spawning
every 30 seconds or so, which then immediately dies. But, I can see it
as a Zombie in the process tree.
What the hell is going on? Has anyone else noticed this?
Regards,
Ranbir
