# netzwerk - wicd 1.7.0 (bzr-r552)

hi
i am running lucid lynx beta 2 on AMD Phenom(tm) 9650 Quad-Core Processor
4GB main memory.

--> wicd-daemon is a stepfather

as you can see the wicd-daemon.py is leaving two zombie processes after
start up.
i ain't know python ( i prefer pure C ), but i thing python must have also
somithing like i signal handler.
the zombies are not a big problem for me, i know the only leave the the
the proc structure and some other little stuff in kernel space.
but --> it's not straight programmed but i think very easy to fix
