Hi everybody

I've observed the following situation:

root 490 0.0 0.0 13004 1596 ? S Nov05 0:00 s6-supervise lxe
root 2738 0.6 0.0 0 0 ? Zsl Nov05 251:13 [lxe] <defunct>

So you see a zombie process. What is the expected behaviour of
s6-supervise here? I would expect, that this case is solved immediatly
by s6-supervise and a new process is spawned.

The observed behaviour was, that no new process was spawned and even
s6-svc -r didn't respawn a process.

Best Regards
Oli
