Just a few minutes ago I managed to issue a top command and it appears that I had (or have during the slowdowns) more than 10000 (YES, you read well!) processes running. the numbers is decreasing as time passess to the overall 42-50, which is kinda expected. I have no idea what spawns (is this the correct term?) all this processes. Thanks, Jernej Zidar ____________________ http://www.email.si/
