I have also the same problem when I am running EELA pilots by hand:

why do you say it is a problem?
we have no idea where does it come from, but it is not a problem. When the parent dies, the process is finished.
Ok Ricardo, you are right, it might be not a problem itself but it might be a sign of the problem. Anyways, i just think that zombie process spawned by every DIRAC process needs to be investigated.
it has been investigated, but so far we have not found the reason.
So, shouldn't this issue be re-opened and assigned to someone, say Adria or Andrei or maybe you?
Have found the reason and will be closed when the pull request is integrated.
Fixed in #730, v6r4p2
Part of an output of ps command at machine on which i have freshly installed pre10:
Note, that each any every DIRAC process has a zombie child. So far i have 34 zombie processes on the machine and all of them were spawned by DIRAC processes. This is a common pattern, we have the same problem at volhcb17 or at DIRAC instance in Lyon. Could this problem triggered by recent changes in DISET protocol?
