On a recently updated testing system, but using kernel 2.6.21 (because
I can't get the Cisco VPN client to compile with 2.6.22), I've had
intermittent freezes of X too. In fact, had one moment ago! I was
able to Ctl-Alt-F2 to a console, where I logged in and ran top, which
reported 1 zombie process, which, it turned out, was ld-linux.so.2. I
returned to the X console and used Ctrl-Backspace to end the session.
After restarting, I have no zombie processes.
So, is it a problem with ld-linux.so.2, and, if so, what's the fix?
