Hi,

The bug is not fixed yet. I saw that all bug reports have been closed, but oracle, apache or php still creates oracle zombie processes with the sample code below. php3.ini or php.ini is the default one.

2 servers, same problem
A :
	- oracle 8.1.5.0.2 
	- kernel 2.2.16
	- apache 1.3.6-7

B: 
	- oracle 8.1.6.1
	- kernel 2.2.16
	- apache 1.3.12-2

on both machine, php has been built the same way :
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --prefix=/usr --enable-safe-mode --with-exec-dir=/usr/bin --with-zlib --with-dbase --with-filepro --with-config-file-path=/etc/php3/apache --disable-debug --enable-magic-quotes --enable-debugger --enable-bcmath --enable-track-vars --with-system-regex --with-yp --with-oci8=path_to_oracle --with-sigchild --with-mysql

sample code :
<?	
	putenv("ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/Oracle-8.1.6.1");
	putenv("ORACLE_SID=CAO");
	$user = "xxx";
	$password = "xxx";
	$conn = ocilogon($user, $password);
	ocilogoff($conn);
?>
result (ps ax --forest):
