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

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? --=20 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 --=-2kdi3IVRGv8X/wAO7x+2 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBNY/qbu06QwmNwNsRAoYmAJ9gTerNs7NQquM7SmDhgax2Pi2dcwCfeTch 4LucGr2yh4jECqSmH3oQIPs= =2P7i -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-2kdi3IVRGv8X/wAO7x+2--
