Defunct processes build up.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. On debian 4.0, install libssl-dev
2. compile with command: "make". 
3. run with ./ratproxy -w logfile 
4. Open slashdot, click the first link. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Ratproxy leaves defunct processes around:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

1.51, debian 4.0. 


Please provide any additional information below.

I haven't checked further beyond clicking a single link.

The processes seem to go away eventually, possibly five at a time. So 
apparently they
don't really build up. 

I just checked a site I have become responsible for and, as expected, I get 
several
RED flags.

There should be no buildup, old processes are just lazily cleaned up in the 
main list
(but their number should be in check regardless of how long the session takes 
place).

If you encounter any problems with a growing number of processes during normal 
use,
please let me know.
