[sslh] sslh-1.7a - problem with zombies

[Matthias Buecher / Germany]

I'm running sslh 1.7a on my Linksys WRT350Nv2 (Marvell Orion CPU, ARMel)
with OpenWrt Backfire and never recognized any zombies.
Unfortunately after 1 month of running I upgraded my router today, so no
connections yet, but will do some tests this week and keep an eye it.
