I guess it's crashing before cpdn gets to do a "wait" on the process and remove it?

Can i delete all the files?

The Tricklets are counted well in my cpdn-account.

I've no problem with the zombi's, but i don't want provide useless work for the
cpdn-project.

with regards
Benn

I've downgraded to the last official kernelversion of my linux-distribution and ther'e no zombi's. :-)

that's good, the only thing I can't figure out is you said it was trickling but you still had zombies? because I've only seen zombies on "chronically failed" machines, where it crashes somehow before even getting to the waitpid() to clean up the zombie. but glad to see it's working now.
