A process spawned by backticks (backquotes) or with shell_exec() hang
around indefinitely if I cancel the page while it's running. The
program I'm running is a Perl script...
        $list = `mp-list 2>&1`;
        $list2 = shell_exec("mp-list 2>&1");
        $status = shell_exec("mp-add $file 2>&1");
(it's taking too long because of a bug in our networking code -- maybe
this is why its not dying?)

When I do a ps ax (several minutes later) I get a whole bunch of stuff
like:

27030 ?        S      0:00 /usr/sbin/apache
27031 ?        S      0:00 sh -c mp-list 2>&1
27032 ?        R      0:23 /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/mp-list

Happens when I 'cancel' in MS IE 5 and in OmniWeb (Macintosh
browsers).

thanks
