Hi all,
Mike M told me on IRC that this matter has come up before, but I have not been able to find it in the archives. It seems Wine has been generating lots of zombie processes when it's not 100% cleanly killed. I have also seen the system hold a socket created from a wine process in "ESTABLISHED" state, when no process is registered as the socket's owner. ...
I've experienced the same thing on a perfectly clean kernel (I think 2.6.5-mm1), but I assumed it was because we were messing around with signals. If I can reproduce the problem I will report it, although Mike McCormack seems to have had quite a bit of contact already with the kernel folks ;)

Same here, on a 2.6.5 vanilla kernel. Linux xxxx.xxxxx 2.6.5 #89 Sun Apr 4 20:13:40 EEST 2004 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux [sss]$ ps -f| grep wine user 20982 1 0 Jun09 pts/222 00:00:00 [wine-preloader] <defunct>
I had just run the cvs wine (up to date). Due to some other regression, I think I'll go back to April's tag.
