Bug Description
Binary package hint: awstats
It seems that logresolvemerge.pl forks gzip for each of the zipped logfiles it's reading, but does not reap them when they have finished, leading to as many zombie processes as there were log files.
While this is not directly harmful, it does make system monitoring trickier.
