When I open my odt file with eps pictures in it, there are some defunct soffice
processes:
$ ps ax | grep office
8481 pts/2 S+ 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/soffice article.odt
8501 pts/2 Sl+ 0:07 /opt/openoffice/program/soffice.bin article.odt
8531 pts/2 Z+ 0:00 [soffice.bin] <defunct>
8536 pts/2 Z+ 0:00 [soffice.bin] <defunct>
Every time I save the document, more and more defunct soffice.bin processes
occur, untill the number of processes reaches system's security limit and OOo
freezes while saving document because no more processes are allowed to be forked
for my user and I have to login as root in VC to kill all the defunct (zombie)
soffice.bin processes.
When I quit OOo the defunct processes disappear. I'm guessing that init cleans
after OOo mess and calls wait().
Perhaps just a simple wait() is missing in parent's code, or if wait() is not to
be used, at least prevent zombies when children terminate:
/* START */
struct sigaction sa;
sa.sa_handler = SIG_IGN;
#ifdef SA_NOCLDWAIT
sa.sa_flags = SA_NOCLDWAIT;
#else
sa.sa_flags = 2;
#endif
sigemptyset(&sa.sa_mask);
sigaction(SIGCHLD, &sa, NULL);
/* END */
Also, OOo is very slow and unresponsive when working with inserted EPS images, I
don't know if this is related or not.
This has been an issue also for previous OOo versions. I'm using the official
ArchLinux packages.
