We met a problem when using libsoup.
In the funciton soup-ssl.c : soup_get_ssl_iochannel_real, it uses fork() and exec() to create a child
progress to complete the secure connection establishment by execute soup_ssl_proxy. This works well
on Linux, however, on Solaris we find that it will produce a lot of defunct processes there before the
parent process ends. And we have noticed that there is a waitpid () call if G_IO_HUP|G_IO_ERR|G_IO_NVAL matches.
However, if there is no such error signal returns, why the parent do not call waitpid () to waiting the child
process? AFAIK, it would make child pocesses become zombie if the parent neither end before the child
nor wait for it.
Any idea?
Thanks,
