That's what I can't figure out. The app serves web pages via CGI, and calls .read and .write on files in the same directory. It also calls urllib.urlopen once in a while, and uses PIL's Image.open and .save. Oh, and os.walk. Other than that, it's all text processing. The subprocesses are children of apache processes (when I use "ps axf"). There's also a "[sh] <defunct>" process sitting around which is a child of apache. Any ideas?
