i've just discovered the same problem on some of our servers
(well, it seems to be the same anyway :)), so i thought you might
be interested in a workaround.  using strace it pretty quickly
became clear that the zombie process was somehow related to
textindexng2.  i didn't investigate much further, since an
update to version 2.2.0 (of textindexng2) made the zombie
go away -- ghost busters! :)

regards,


andi
