Summary:                    [patch] Asterisk leaves zombie agi processes when
running under linux 2.6
Description: 
[Note: re-open, duplicate of Problem ID 0005238]

I have actually found a way to duplicate this bug.  If a long-running AGI
script is executing by one user and another user hangs-up on an AGI script,
a zombie will be left running.  This can be duplicated by using the
following dialplan code:

exten =>_X.,1,Answer
exten =>_X.,n,AGI(time-request.agi)
exten =>_X.,n,Hangup

(time-request.agi is an AGI script that says the time every 10 seconds
until the user hangs-up or presses a button on the keypad ... any
long-running AGI script like this should work).

Actually, the AGI script could continue to do something for up to 100ms
long (the length of a standard Unix context switch).  usleep(1) is a trick
that we use that simply means "yield the processor and don't come back
immediately".
