Hey all...

Well, I *thought* that I got stunnel working great with imapd and ipop3d, 
but it seems to be having a hiccup someplace.  I have stunnel starting via 
startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d now, and it results in the following 
startups:

stunnel -d 993 -p /usr/local/etc/stunnel.pem -l /usr/local/bin/imapd imapd
stunnel -d 995 -p /usr/local/etc/stunnel.pem -l /usr/local/bin/ipop3d ipop3d

I checked this afternoon and found about 50 zombie processes - all as the 
results of my test victim..er...user... checking their mail via 
pop3/ssl.  I killed off the stunnel process that was running ipop3d, and 
the zombies cleared out.  Restarting the daemon, I had that same user check 
their mail several times in short span.  Result is shown below...

Any ideas why they're resulting in zombies insteading of cleaning up 
right?  i get the same problems when I check my own account via imap.

Thanks in advance,
John
