I searched bugzilla but couldn't find any reference. Any one experience this? I'm running the latest FC1 kernel with all updates applied.
Can you give an example of what you are seeing and how you are seeing it. Also if you are trying to fix a problem.
I get Netstat zombies too. I haven't thought of them as a big problem, but I can show you an example. Right now I have one that's about four days old. It's a child of Mozilla:
$ ps x -f
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY STAT TIME CMD

bjorn 30714 30579 0 Mar05 ? Z 0:00 [netstat <defunct>]
I don't remember if they're always from Mozilla. I've never seen more than one at a time. Not that I have looked for them.
