When I open my odt file with eps pictures in it, there are
some defunct soffice
processes:

$ ps ax | grep office
 8481 pts/2    S+     0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/soffice
article.odt
 8501 pts/2    Sl+    0:07
/opt/openoffice/program/soffice.bin article.odt
 8531 pts/2    Z+     0:00 [soffice.bin] <defunct>
 8536 pts/2    Z+     0:00 [soffice.bin] <defunct>

Every time I save the document, more and more defunct
soffice.bin processes
occur, untill the number of processes reaches system's
security limit and OOo
freezes while saving document because no more processes are
allowed to be forked
for my user and I have to login as root in VC to kill all
the defunct (zombie)
soffice.bin processes.

When I quit OOo the defunct processes disappear. I'm
guessing that init cleans
after OOo mess and calls wait().

Perhaps just a simple wait() is missing in parent's code, or
if wait() is not to
be used, at least prevent zombies when children terminate:

/* START */
	struct sigaction sa;
	sa.sa_handler = SIG_IGN;
#ifdef SA_NOCLDWAIT
	sa.sa_flags = SA_NOCLDWAIT;
#else
	sa.sa_flags = 2;
#endif
	sigemptyset(&sa.sa_mask);
	sigaction(SIGCHLD, &sa, NULL);
/* END */

Also, OOo is very slow and unresponsive when working with
inserted EPS images, I
don't know if this is related or not.

This has been an issue also for previous OOo versions. I'm
using the official
ArchLinux packages.

Can't reproduce this with my Test document/EPS files.
Could you please attach a sample document which causes the
problem in OOo (the
shorter, the better)?

Here is an eps file. From OpenOffice go to menu insert -
picture - from file,
then when I select the eps file and preview is generated
automatically, I get
one defunct process. After I click "open" to
insert the image, I get another
defunct process.

I use openoffice 2.3.0 on opensuse10.2, I also had the
zombie process problem.
In installed the pstoedit command, that's executed by
soffice.bin every time 
you open a .eps file, and now everything's ok.
I hope that you can reproduce this behavior

Thanks, that solved it for me, too.

But I still think this is a openoffice bug. It seems it does
not really need
pstoedit because EPS could be inserted and saved in a
document also without
pstoedit. And even if it does need pstoedit it should still
not leave zombie
processes running when some external program or library is
not found.

MRU->SJ: every time an EPS is inserted/shown, an
externeal process seems to be
started. Is this really necessary?
