           Summary: left over zombie processes after debugging
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-devel at kdevelop.org
        ReportedBy: daniel.franke at imbs.uni-luebeck.de


Version:           3.0.0a4 (using KDE 3.1.1)
Installed from:    compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.2
OS:          SunOS (sun4u) release 5.8

This is somewhat fuzzy, but I hope you can make sense out of it:

Steps:
 1. Create a new project, say "Simple hello world program" in C
 2. add a breakpoint at "printf()" line
 3. `ps -ef | grep defunct` -> 0 lines
 4. start debugging ( '>' button)
 5. stop debugging at breakpoint ('x' button)
 6. `ps -ef | grep defunct` -> 0 lines
 7. start debugging ( '>' button)
 8. stop debugging at breakpoint ('x' button)
 9. `ps -ef | grep defunct` -> 1 lineps -ef | grep 13258

>From now, each debugging start/stop adds another zombie (paren: gideon)
Later trying to (re-)compile the project never ends (maybe a waitpid() or similar?)

Workaround: close and restart gideon.
