Installed bering "Bering_1.0-stable_img_bering_1680.bin" with very few
problems on a measly P120/48MB system. This same system ran RH-7.3 prior to
this.
Anyway, I just noticed that when I do a "ps" on this new bering system, the
process ID for any new process is going crazy. Ex: The following are two
ps's within a second of each other (up arrow). Note: the process ID for the
ps command has rolled past 32768.

I have scanned all the /var/log files looking for a "respawning to fast"
type of entries, but I don't see anything that stands out. Normal startup
entries along with shorewall logging and sshd auth entries. Thats about it!
I have also tried stopping the ntpd, pptpd, ntpd and snmpd process to see if
they were causing this, but same results. I even plugged in a keyboard to
see if this was the culprit (This is system is headless and is admin'd
through ssh).
FWIW: snmpget from another system does not show the CPU utilization maxed
out, but it would be nice if there was a version of "top" available to help
debug this.
Any ideas on what may be causing this problem?
thanks
