:im sure ... the zombie processes are, multiple (esd), multiple (sendmail),
:multiple (kclock.kss), multiple (sh), etc.
Sounds like a bug that we should be able to track down pretty
easily. It sounds like init is stuck on something.
Could you get a kernel crash dump when your machine is in a state
where several of these zombies exist, e.g. by ctl-alt-esc'ing and
typing 'panic' + <return> + <return>. That ought to generate a core.
