Looks like a poltergates :))) BTW, killing init would be helpful.

But, I think you understand my initial question: I suspected bad-coded parent process. Now I see this is ps or kernel failing. So, a couple of diagnostic tests: 1) check if zombie-structures was allocated in kernel # vmstat -m|fgrep zombie 2) what is your threading library in /etc/libmap.conf ? Whatewer it is, try to change it and look what happens. (I suspect KSE-related problems) 3) what does sockstat think about theese processes? -- regards, Sergey Akifyev <asa@gascom.ru> JSC Gascom <http://www.gascom.ru>; PGP key available from: ftp://ftp.gascom.ru/pub/PGP-keys/asa.txt [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBNY/qbu06QwmNwNsRAoYmAJ9gTerNs7NQquM7SmDhgax2Pi2dcwCfeTch 4LucGr2yh4jECqSmH3oQIPs= =2P7i -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
