Processes remain in zombie state after exiting. This occurs whether they exit normally, or are killed with any signal. These two symptoms lead me to believe that init(8) is being adversely affected by the syscons history size option. =20 If I can be of assistance in tracking down this problem, please let me know. =20 Regards, Greg --=20 Gregory S.
