[Bug 456012] [NEW] ksysguard spawns hordes of zombies

[Sergei Ivanov]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ksysguard

I have ksysguard but no ksysguardd installed. When I run ksysguard, it
shows a process table. In a short period of time, this table is full of
zombie ksysguard processes. There is one living process and it keeps
spawning more and more zombies. After 2 minutes (wall clock), the
command `ps ax | grep ksysguard | wc -l' shows more than 240 of these
beasts, so it's approximately 2 new zombies per second. Luckily they all
die when the ksysguard window is closed.

This is kubuntu karmik beta, ksysguard version is 4:4.3.2-0ubuntu6.
