I have noticed in the past few weeks of tracking -STABLE that I regularly see processes not terminating properly. For example, I have a perl+curses-based menu system for several users on my system. Just about any day of the week I can come in to my normally idle system and see a few hanging perl5's in the run state all using as much CPU as the system will let them (this morning I saw four, all using about 22% CPU.) kill -9 will safely get rid of them. I don't have a lot of details yet; I was wondering if anyone else has seen this or if it's probably my poor old 486 just getting ready to die. If anyone else has seen this I will be happy to start investigating further.
