code I item #355, was opened at 2007-04-03 22:15
Status: Open
Priority: 3
Submitted By: Francesco Lovergine (frankie)
Assigned to: Nobody (None)
Summary: A lot of <defunct> processes around while working 
Issue type: module bug
Issue status: None
GRASS version: 6.2.1
GRASS component: gis.m
Operating system: Linux
Operating system version: Debian sid
GRASS CVS checkout date, if applies (YYMMDD): 


Initial Comment:
While using georectifier a lot of pending defuncts appear for g.region. It seems (?) parent does not loop on wait() while managing SIGCHLD process as it should. All processes are closed when gm.tcl is terminated.
