Ok, after all that recovery the system has been running happily for a
couple weeks now.  This morning I came in and found on the order of
14000 defunct processes.  Most of them were nsrd.  In my
/nsr/logs/daemon.log I have alot of:

11/18/02 08:51:59 nsrd: media info: Deleting 2816 KB from save set 3190515713

  Looks like it's cleaning up expired backups.  Not a problem, this is a
good thing.  The problem is that very soon after I saw 13832 defunct
processes the server complained about a lack of memory and killed
networker.  It started backup and looks stable right now.

Can the expirations be restarted?  Are the defuncts normal for 6.1.2
build 340?

Any thoughts?
  Robert
