Summary:                    [patch] mpg123 <defunct>
Description: 
I make use of MP3Player quite a lot in one application, and after a lot of
use, if I do a `ps aux` I notice dozens of entries like "mpg123 <defunct>".
 This happens on a daily basis, and I solve the issue by restarting
asterisk and all of the "mpg 123 <defunct>" processes disappear.

It seems that mpg123 is hanging on close, not properly exiting.  I'm not
sure if this is an Asterisk issue or an mpg123, I apologize if I submitted
to the wrong tracker.

I also have recently upgraded to a recent mpg123, 1.9.1 and the problem
persists.

If it helps, my linux version:

Linux version 2.6.9-89.0.11.ELsmp (mockbuild at x86-001.build.bos.redhat.com)
(gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-11))

The AGI spawn is what is preventing the mpg123 zombies from being
harvested. However, this patch should cleanup those zombies.
