I know this is pretty harmless, but has anyone else noticed that the
later versions of exim now leave defunct processes lying around?

exim      1584  0.0  0.2  8224 2080 ?        S    03:08   0:00
/usr/sbin/exim -bd -q1h
root      3519  0.0  0.0     0    0 ?        Z    04:08   0:00 [exim]
<defunct>


I'm noticing this on Fedora Core 1 and Fedora Core 2 with exim 4.33
that comes with FC2 and a hand-rolled 4.34 on FC1.

I guess it could mean there is a missing waitpid() (or something like
that) call somewhere..

Anyone else seeing this?

Nathan.
