Summary:                    dbmail-imapd occasionally creates zombies
Description: 
USER       PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
nobody   26519  0.0  0.0     0    0 ?        Z    04:13   0:00

I'm not quite sure how to debug this.

When dbmail-imapd is in this state, new connections take upwards of a
minute before they get a response from the imap server.

Stopping dbmail-imapd and restarting kills the zombie and everything goes
back to normal.

Interesting.  I have another server running 2.0.10 on Fedora Core 1 and the
dbmail-lmtpd has zombies.

Any hints on where to start debugging this?
