Started QPS(a tool like gtop) just to see two of the find's are still there. Zombies, yes, sleeping in exit(). Closing the console removed the zombies. That's stock bash-2.05a, and it hadn't such problems before (although i'm going to try to reproduce that situation in exactly same way under 2.4.18-pre8-K2 todays night). -alex
