### Please describe the problem. In a debian unstable docker container, I run `git-annex assistant --auto` on a few repositories. After a few days, I have many (> 10000 right now) zombie processes: % ps x | grep "git-annex.*defunct" | wc -l 10325 ### What steps will reproduce the problem? Keep `git-annex assistant` running. ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? Binary version 5.20151116-gbe86081 on Debian Linux unstable (up-to-date from a few days ago when my docker container started) ### Please provide any additional information below. [[!format sh """ # If you can, paste a complete transcript of the problem occurring here. # If the problem is with the git-annex assistant, paste in .git/annex/daemon.log # End of transcript or log. """]] ### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders) I couldn't live without git-annex to synchronize my documents over multiple hosts and archives :-) > [[done]]; this is a docker bug if anything, and I really don't see any > way git-annex can solve it. --[[Joey]]
