It's not the process with id 2, it's a line in /etc/inittab that's giving you the problem. In mine, I've got a commented out "s2" entry for mgetty.

I think that Netscape's Java implementation does have memory leaks - but it shouldn't be that serious. > Steve Tonnesen > tonnesen@cmsd.bc.ca Cool - Linux users in Terrace!
