Re: Zombie processes not clearing (solution)
The patch does indeed work fine here thanks Don. We have it deployed across over 50 machines without issue. The ftp has been busy recently but seems available now. If you have any more trouble getting on drop me a mail and I'll put it elsewhere.

Zombie processes no clearing
Usually zombie processes clear when the controlling parent quits but I seem to have a issue with the latest bf1942 dedicated server under FreeBSD where this is not the case. Each map change creates 2 new zombie processes and even quitting the entire server doesn't clear them. Am I missing something obvious?
