Usually, the child that served the initial request fails to close but sometimes as many as 6 or 7 child servers will fail to close. They remain in the W state indefinitely. Netscape 3.01 on Win95, Linux, and HPUX exhibit the behavior. While Internet Explorer 3.0 under Win95 does not. The server must be -HUP'ed in order to reap the children. >How-To-Repeat: I hate to advertise for them, but this is the only site where I can reproduce the problem: http://www.as400.ibm.com >Fix: >Audit-Trail: State-Changed-From-To: open-analyzed State-Changed-By: chuck State-Changed-When: Wed May 14 20:14:46 PDT 1997 State-Changed-Why: We're currently discussing how to deal with this issue.
