Not Sure What is going on defunct

[Julian Field]

Check your maillog. If everything is being processed properly then don't
worry. 4.29 will generate defunct processes, they are cleared up in big
batches for extra speed. Previous versions cleared them 1 at a time as they
were created, which is quite a bit slower.
