[kde-freebsd] kbiff && zombies

[Matthias Apitz]

Hello,

This is with KDE 4.14.2 on 11-CURRENT. I'm using kbiff 4.0_4 (all from
ports) to announce incoming mails in my local mbox. This works fine, but
it seems that it gives every time 3 new zombies:

$ ps ax
...
3236  3  S+     0:04,55 truss -o kbiff.tr kbiff
3237  3  SX+    0:03,90 kbiff
3274  3  Z+     0:00,00 <defunct>
3275  3  Z+     0:00,00 <defunct>
3276  3  Z+     0:00,00 <defunct>

$ egrep '= 3274 |= 3275 |= 3276 ' kbiff.tr
vfork()						 = 3274 (0xcca)
vfork()						 = 3275 (0xccb)
vfork()						 = 3276 (0xccc)

looking into the truss, it seems that it has todo with starting the
jackd:

access("/sbin/jackd",1)                          ERR#2 'No such file or directory'
access("/bin/jackd",1)                           ERR#2 'No such file or directory'
access("/usr/sbin/jackd",1)                      ERR#2 'No such file or directory'
access("/usr/bin/jackd",1)                       ERR#2 'No such file or directory'
access("/usr/games/jackd",1)                     ERR#2 'No such file or directory'
access("/usr/local/sbin/jackd",1)                ERR#2 'No such file or directory'
access("/usr/local/bin/jackd",1)                 = 0 (0x0)
pipe2(0xbfbfbedc,0x100000,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0)       = 0 (0x0)
vfork()                                          = 3276 (0xccc)
fcntl(22,F_GETFL,)                               = 2 (0x2)

$ pkg which /usr/local/bin/jackd
/usr/local/bin/jackd was installed by package jackit-0.121.3_5

Any idea?
