           Summary: kmail creates zombie processes
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: FreeBSD Ports
        OS/Version: FreeBSD
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: bugzilla at soulrebel.in-berlin.de


Version:           4.3.1 (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                FreeBSD
Installed from:    FreeBSD Ports

During regular operation kmail produces a zombie once in a while. I have been
having this issue on with multiple FreeBSD-setups since the beginning of KDE4,
but just now found out that PPID tells where a process comes from and could
therefore track it to kmail.

It looks like this (second column is PID, third column PPID):

hannes at fbsdmain /c/h/hannes> ps ajx | grep 1600
hannes      1600     1  1123  1123    0 I     ??    1:10,02
/usr/local/kde4/bin/kmail -caption Kmail
hannes      1606  1600  1123  1123    0 Z     ??    0:00,00 <defunct>

hannes     15917  1600  1123  1123    0 Z     ??    0:00,00 <defunct>
hannes     21038  1267 21037  1267    2 S+     3    0:00,00 grep 1600

Thanks for your help!
