I've noticed a problem with processes not closing correctly, they can
be open for days and cause corrupt index files because they are
connected to different backends (so it writes to the wrong server when
the process disconnects)

Is there any way to force these orphaned processes to terminate after
a certain time?
I ran "strace -f -p" on 59515 which caused the process to wake up and
terminate? Very strange.
I can send the dump from strace if you want, but since it contains
addresses I would prefer it to be done off-list
