I have not tried it yet, but will shortly. It seems to happen when the kernel attempts to charge uid 0 for a new process, but notices that the process limit is reached for that uid and backs off. But later on the kernel still creates the process since it is owned by user uid 0. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
