Hello,

We are having a bunch of bpdbm proccesses running
on our master server which significantly reduces performance of 
the server. It looks like bpdbm daemon constanly forking 
childs without killing them. The number of processes varies from
5 to 30:
   root   720   432  1 17:39:58 ?        0:54 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpdbm
    root   432     1  0 17:39:10 ?        0:02 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpdbm
    root  2105   432  1 18:01:00 ?        0:09 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpdbm
    root   813   432  1 17:41:32 ?        0:53 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpdbm
    root  1522   432  1 17:51:49 ?        0:26 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpdbm
    root  1438   432  1 17:50:43 ?        0:27 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpdbm
    root  2440   432  1 18:05:10 ?        0:04 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpdbm
    root  3036   432  0 18:08:58 ?        0:00 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpdbm
    root  3033   432  0 18:08:58 ?        0:00 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpdbm
    root  3035   587  0 18:08:58 console  0:00 grep bpdbm
    root  3031   432  0 18:08:57 ?        0:00 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpdbm
    root  3032   432  0 18:08:57 ?        0:00 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpdbm
What should be done to stop it? 
Patch J0820363 has been applied. 
Server is running Solaris 2.5.1 
We had to change expiration time of most of our backups to 
infinity.

Thanks,
