The problem is, I'm still not sure *why*. Each time you install a package, a tar is kicked off at the end of a pipe so that you can shove the package down its throat. This process is duly waited for, as are all others I'm currently forking, and it *should not leave a process table slot allocated*, but it does. Work-around for now is to simply not install quite so many packages at installation time. The bug does not occur when you're running multi-user (just as with that pesky missing nameserver value bug).
