Description Nels Lindquist 2005-08-25 15:20:57 UTC 
I'm using SA with MIMEDefang, which calls SpamAssassin 
directly in perl.  When the MD multiplexor tries to shut down idle 
slaves, they become zombies.  If I revert to SA 3.04, the problem 
disappears entirely.  I read the "zombies" thread initiated by Jim 
Knuth on August 18th, and tried applying the patch attached to
 <a href="http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4518">this bug</a>
but it didn't make any difference.  Note that I'm using dccifd with a 
socket rather dccproc, so my problem may be completely unrelated.

The problem can also be triggered by issuing a "reload" command to md-mx-ctrl
which forces all the slaves to be refreshed.
