here's a cool discovery. if you have a docker container with alpine linux serving an https site, and you use busybox's wget implementation for a docker health check, you will come back to find 60% or more system cpu usage

busybox doesn't clean up the "ssl_client" processes after wget exits. i ran ps aux and it took 30 seconds to show me that there were 42,000 zombie processes belonging to the web server, from a health check at 10s intervals
