Here's what I'm seeing. After qrunner is running for a while, I see:
mailman 7303 7269 0 0:00 <defunct>
mailman 7672 7269 0 0:00 <defunct>
mailman 8008 7269 0 0:00 <defunct>
mailman 8285 7269 0 0:00 <defunct>
mailman 8412 7269 0 0:00 <defunct>
mailman 8746 7269 0 0:00 <defunct>
mailman 8833 7269 0 0:00 <defunct>
mailman 8992 7269 0 0:00 <defunct>
mailman 9139 7269 0 0:00 <defunct>
mailman 9223 7269 0 0:00 <defunct>
mailman 9361 7269 0 0:00 <defunct>
mailman 7269 7268 3 11:08:00 ? 1:22 /usr/local/bin/python -S
/export/home/mailman/cron/qrunner
So these are dead, unreaped children owned by qrunner, barry. I'm wondering
if it is the mail -> news stuff. I think I see one per message posted to a
list, and pretty much all of my lists are gatewayed on that machine. But
some sub-process is exiting and not being reaped.
