The currently running process was init, actually a forked child of init, since the grandfather of all processes has pid 1. This looks like a problem with your memory or cache. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
