<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We have a problem with bproc and zombies processes.
We are using a genetic algorithm application MPI based.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In our aplication, we are executing a external
program via system() call.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The problem is that many of these new processes are
zombies in the master node, however, they donīt appear as zombie in the slaves
nodes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We are using Scyld 27z-8 with updates.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What can we do to solve this problem?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks.</FONT></DIV>
