[Orca-users] orca spawns <defunct> process daily

[kim.taylor at pncbank.com]

I've found Orca is accumulating one new <defunct> process per day.

Orca version 0.26 on Solaris 2.6 running continously (not via cron.)
I start it with nice and nohup.

Data is rsync'd over SSH from ~30 clients every 5 min.

Anyone else seeing this happen?
