There is clearly more than one reporter (I'm one of them). I worked around it by compiling from source.
Keepalived IF you are using it is liking to be a HIGHLY critical service (I am not currently but will again). Maybe it's still a medium but just to put a counterpoint to your comment Clint. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu High Availability Team, which is subscribed to keepalived in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160426 Title: keepalived using genhash keeps getting "zombied" and using CPU to a 100% Status in “keepalived” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: keepalived When using keepalived last version from Dapper, when it has a genhash failure on http service check it keeps writing every second to logs filling the hard drive, using 100% CPU and the checker get "zombie". A restart of the process does not work on it, and if it happens on the master server, it also starts on the slave server, making the service unavailable in 90% of the requests. I installed by hand compiling 1.1.15 and problem goes away for now, with 1.1.14 the issue still happens.
