I'm finding that compiling a clean GENERIC kernel from the 1.4 source
results in a large number of zombies lingering around.  Most of them are
leftovers from portmap and cron daemon processes.  After a couple of days,
my process table filled up.  I don't have the same problem using the
1.4_BETA kernel bundled with the official 1.4 binary release.

Anyone else seen similar things?
