Just upgraded to 2.1.90. Feels nice ;)

One of my bash's just got stuck (unkillable with -KILL)

FLAGS UID PID PPID PRI NI SIZE RSS WCHAN STA TTY TIME COMMAND
...
0 500 1209 1207 0 0 1240 800 down_failed D p5 0:00 bash
...

And I have about 80 sendmail zombie processes whose PPIDs are 0:

FLAGS UID PID PPID PRI NI SIZE RSS WCHAN STA TTY TIME COMMAND
...
144 0 807 0 0 0 0 0 do_exit Z ? 0:00 (sendmail
144 0 810 0 0 0 0 0 do_exit Z ? 0:00 (sendmail
144 0 813 0 0 0 0 0 do_exit Z ? 0:00 (sendmail
144 0 816 0 0 0 0 0 do_exit Z ? 0:00 (sendmail
144 0 819 0 0 0 0 0 do_exit Z ? 0:00 (sendmail
...

Near original RH 5.0 system (except for kernel and required prog updates).
