53 I've noticed some strange behaviour with zombie processes and
\r
57 - start large search, quit (with q)
\r
59 - repeat as many times as you like.
\r
60 - first search to complete, all zombies are gone.
\r
61 - CPU is not pegged.
\r
64 - even searches that complete create zombies
\r
65 - cpu usage of emacs process hits 100%
\r
67 Defining the former as "good" and the latter as "bad",
\r
68 bisect reveals 08fde50bf3a4c5 as the first "bad" commit.
\r
70 I am running emacs 24.3.1 on Debian jessie, with linux kernel 3.9.5-1
\r
73 The bug is pretty annoying since it runs down the battery on my
\r
74 laptop. In a quick test on another machine running Debian wheezy but
\r
75 still emacs 24.3.1, I don't see any zombies created at all. I'm not sure
\r
76 what the imprtant variable is, libc, glib, kernel...
