Just booted 2.1.117 for the first time and saw this:

nicholas(1)@neko [105 /usr2/nicholas] > ps ax
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
1 ? S 0:07 init
2 ? SW 0:00 (kflushd)
3 ? SW 0:00 (kswapd)
....
122 ? S 0:00 sendmail: accepting connections on port 25
122 ? S 0:00 sendmail: accepting connections on port 25
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
....

And in looking in /proc:

nicholas(1)@neko [108 /proc] > dir -d 1*
dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Aug 20 11:35 1
....
dr-xr-xr-x 3 root mail 0 Aug 20 11:35 122
dr-xr-xr-x 3 root mail 0 Aug 20 11:35 122

I'm almost positive there shouldn't be two pid#122's... right? :)

Linux neko 2.1.117 #2 SMP Thu Aug 20 11:29:54 EDT 1998 i686 unknown

G'day!
