increasing no. of hobbitd zombie's

[Heinecke at hansenet.com]

Hi,
 
every "checkpoint-interval" i get a new hobbitd zombie process.
 
#> ps auxwww

hobbit   25559  0.0  0.0     0    0 ?        Z    11:06   0:00 [hobbitd] <defunct>
hobbit   25917  0.0  0.0     0    0 ?        Z    11:16   0:00 [hobbitd] <defunct>

hobbitlaunch.cfg: [hobbitd] section:
 
CMD hobbitd --debug --pidfile=$BBSERVERLOGS/hobbitd.pid --restart=$BBTMP/hobbitd.chk --checkpoint-file=$BBTMP/hobbitd.chk --checkpoint-interval=600 --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/hobbitd.log --admin-senders=127.0.0.1,$BBSERVERIP

... the last zombie appears at 11:36 ..., this is the hobbitd.log (debug mode) - look's good, i think ;-)

This happens on Debian LINUX 3.1 'Sarge'. Analog config on different Solaris 8 SPARC Boxes => no problem.
 
On the Debian box, i have DISABLED bbdisplay in hobbitlaunch.cfg, because this box should only act as a kind of LAN probe (only bb-net and forwarding of LAN client stati to a central bbdisplay)
No big issue (my next step: increase the checkpoint interval ;-) - but maybe someone else may run into trouble.
