Unfortunately I just got a report that it is still not fixed.  I will take
a look at it (and do more tests this time than when I rewrote that code), so
if it is still not fixed it will be very soon.

Ah, ok.  This was supposed to be fixed in current CVS, but now I see that in
this configuration another fix is needed.

If you upgrade to current CVS, you will get some bug fixes for this.

        * Makefile.am (assuan_libobjs): Remove @LTLIBOBJS@ as we link them
        into gpgme unconditionally.
        (libgpgme_la_LIBADD): Change @LIBOBJS@ into @LTLIBOBJS at .

Please try the CVS Version, if the error still occurs, we can take a closer
look.

As I said, don't expect the zombie issue to be fixed in 0.3.10, but it will
definitely be fixed in CVS soon and then in 0.3.11.  Sorry for the
inconvenience.  The change that allows to use external event loops required
some internal restructuring that was a bit destabilizing.

Thanks,
Marcus
