+### Please describe the problem.
+
+In a debian unstable docker container, I run `git-annex assistant --auto` on a few repositories.
+
+After a few days, I have many (> 10000 right now) zombie processes:
+
+    % ps x | grep "git-annex.*defunct" | wc -l
+    10325
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+Keep `git-annex assistant` running.
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+Binary version 5.20151116-gbe86081 on Debian Linux unstable (up-to-date from a few days ago when my docker container started)
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
+
+[[!format sh """
+# If you can, paste a complete transcript of the problem occurring here.
+# If the problem is with the git-annex assistant, paste in .git/annex/daemon.log
+
+
+# End of transcript or log.
+"""]]
+
+### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
+
+I couldn't live without git-annex to synchronize my documents over multiple hosts and archives :-)
