App Leaving 'sh <defunct>' Everywhere

Hello Guys,

 

I've got an application that seems to leave 'sh <defunct>' in my os
processes list. I'm running it on Debian, albeit a stripped down embedded
version. I'm not sure what the cause of this is, My application starts
several threads and also uses popen2.popen3() to run a few CMD commands.

 

Any ideas why I'm getting this, or if it's even something to be concerned
about.

 

Thanks,

 

Rob
