If you watch closely, you should see a large number of zombies showing up.

It looks like test8-pre2 is crumbly and you get lots of pieces to keep ;)

Thus far:
    - signals [to init] cause OOPSes
    - programs hang in do_exit
    - return to vc/1 on resume possibly causing the next issue
    - crashes X on resume
    - random programs blink out of existence albeit infrequently (I've noted xmms
and netscape) when they used to last for weeks on this box.

...and the usual long standing problems naturally, but the above are new issues.
