Not sure whether this is a bug:
I found a lot of confd.plx processes on my homeasg. They are not permanently present but there are one or two zombie processes present on the box:
root 30295 2.6 0.0 0 0 ? Z 14:42 0:01 [confd.plx]
root 30296 2.9 0.0 0 0 ? Z 14:42 0:01 [confd.plx]
Now that processes disappered and I got two new ones:
root 30550 12.8 0.0 0 0 ? Z 14:43 0:01 [confd.plx]
root 30559 14.4 0.0 0 0 ? Z 14:43 0:01 [confd.plx]
