Defunct process

[Davis10733]

Recently I need to write a program to pull message from SQS constantly. Then I found this library to do it. I extended the abstract class Core_daemon and wrote main function of my program in execute(). When I ran the daemon process, I found the daemon process produced a lots of defunct processes. Is it normal situation? or something I‘ve done wrong?

It's a bit late, but I think the defunct processes are caused by timeout.
