Hey all,

In each domu I am seeing 1 reported zombie in top:

load averages:  0.08,  0.08,  0.03                  up 0 days,  0:03   
15:56:12
23 processes:  21 sleeping, 1 zombie, 1 on processor
CPU states:  0.0% user,  0.0% nice,  0.0% system,  0.0% interrupt,  100% idle
Memory: 9060K Act, 5472K Wired, 3364K Exec, 3396K File, 83M Free
Swap: 512M Total, 512M Free

  2 ?       ZW   0:00.00 (xenbus_probe)

It's a bare domu with not a lot going on.

I don't know when it started but I noticed it a while back and just figure it 
was probably something to do with the core changes made recently and thought 
I would just keep updating until it disappeared, as no-one else has mentioned 
it.

I've not had any issues (apart from my nfs timeouts, most likely caused by my 
personal lack of nfs theory and testing).

Any ideas?
