Unfortunately no. I compiled a debug kernel so that I could use my process
tracing stuff to see why init was not reaping zombies and the problem went
away. Since the kernel in the build says "Beta" and everything else says
1.4 I had written it off as a mismatch compile between beta kernel sources
and 1.4 release user sources. Brian indicated that he had recompiled the
generic kernel and it still failed so that is useful to know.
