[Orca-users] RE: Accumulation of orca defunct processes over ti me.

[Erik Melander]

I am at version 0.27b2 (sorry for not mentioning it).  In fact I uninstalled
everything, and reinstalled v0.27b2
and get the same errors.

Upgrade to Orca 0.27b2, it fixes this bug.

        * lib/Orca/SourceFile.pm: To fix a bug where Orca would leave
          around many defunct bunzip2, gunzip or uncompress processes
          when reading compressed input data files.  Now when
          load_new_data has reached the end of the input data file,
          use the new OpenFileHash->is_pipe method to determine if the
          file descriptor was opened with a bunzip2, gunzip or
          uncompress pipe, and if so, close the file descriptor, since
          there cannot be anyway for additional data to appear after a
          pipe has been closed.  This will close and remove the
          defunct processes from the system.
