Summary:                    [patch] Asterisk produces many zombie processes
while under load.
Description: 
Once under a non-trivial load (trivial being the 6 phones in our office
that we've been testing with for the past week, non-trivial being around a
hundred sip clients and about 7 or 8 simultaneous DAHDI calls), Asterisk
starts producing a high volume of zombie processes - say a few hundred a
minute. If left alone, this crashes the operating system within a few
hours, but not before calls start getting very flaky.
