Zombie process in libpurple.

[Rehan]

Thanks for the reply.

 But they are not acting as you mentioned. The threads are still in zombie
state and the count keeps on increasing as user logins and logouts...

I am not using any advance feature of libpurple like sound, images etc. etc.
I use only login,logout, change status and send and recieve message calls
from the libpurple.

Regards,
Rehan.
