Created attachment 358299 [details] test.c (Reported by Chunyang Liu) After calling guestfs_close from the test program attached, the qemu process remains in the defunct state until the main program exits. 26100 pts/1 Z+ 0:21 [qemu] <defunct> Apparently we are missing a wait() somewhere. Reported and verified on EPEL 5.3. $ gcc -Wall -o test test.c -lguestfs $ ./test Handle closed - now run 'ps ax' to see if qemu process is defunct [in another window] $ ps ax | grep qemu 26280 pts/2 Z+ 0:20 [qemu] <defunct>
