The funny thing is, I have a customer that has had ASG for 5 months now. Running V6. And this exact same thing is happening to him now. On V6! On V6 though it is Hyperdyper doing this, and then the kernel kills the processes. Usually every few days it happens now.

I have the same problem, but my system crashes every hour!
As far as I have seen the system is running out of memory. I can see in the Reporting / Hardware of the webadmin that swap usage reaches 100%.
The system starts 2-4 new processes every minute:
root 2662 0.0 1.1 37804 5744 ? Ss 16:29 0:02 confd [master]
root 2710 0.0 0.9 37704 5128 ? S 16:29 0:00 \_ confd [prpc]
root 2719 0.0 1.1 38652 6048 ? S 16:29 0:01 \_ prpc [system]
root 2795 0.0 0.9 38628 4832 ? S 16:29 0:00 \_ prpc [system]
root 3034 0.4 0.9 38764 4800 ? S 16:29 0:13 \_ prpc [system]
root 3990 0.0 1.1 38632 5972 ? S 16:30 0:00 \_ prpc [system]
root 4644 0.0 1.1 38636 6012 ? S 16:30 0:00 \_ prpc [system]
and:
5826 0.0 0.4 8112 2376 ? Ss 16:33 0:00 /usr/local/bin/emailpki-sync.plx
root 5972 0.0 0.4 8112 2372 ? Ss 16:34 0:00 /usr/local/bin/emailpki-sync.plx
root 6016 0.0 0.4 8112 2380 ? Ss 16:34 0:00 /usr/local/bin/emailpki-sync.plx
root 6077 0.0 0.4 8108 2384 ? Ss 16:35 0:00 /usr/local/bin/emailpki-sync.plx
Does anyone know what these processes are used for? How to avoid them?

It shouldn't be the http proxy because it is disabled.

I've heard through the grapevine that some Kernel updates may be in the forthcoming up2date package (in a week or so)... perhaps they will address the memory allocation issue---it seems to be happening in all sorts of different processes on different systems... we'll see.
I doubt that a kernel update would affect any memory issues unless there was a memory leak in the kernel itself. Hopefully the other updates they release along with it address the memory leaks.
eha, do you have a full process list from when the system became unresponsive?
