Hi.

I'm using surf on void linux (musl). I get a whole lot of zombies (sh <defunct>) when spawning child processes (Go & Find). I don't know where the optimal place is to put a waitpid for them but this works for me.

        switch (e->type) {
        case GDK_ENTER_NOTIFY:
                c->overtitle = c->targeturi;
# --- End patch

Thanks for awesome software.
