On my new ADB mono turbo station (running 3.0), I see all these
<mach-task> processes.  More seem to appear as time goes by.  I never
noticed anything like this on my old 2.1 system.

"ps aux" returns lots and lots of lines like this:

USER       PID  %CPU %MEM VSIZE RSIZE TT STAT  TIME COMMAND
root        -1   0.0  0.0    0K    0K ?    N   0:00 <mach-task>
root        -1   0.0  0.0    0K    0K ?    N   0:00 <mach-task>
root        -1   0.0  0.0    0K    0K ?    N   0:00 <mach-task>

Is there a problem?  They're apparently not using resources, but
they sure clutter up "ps" output, which is annoying.  Is there anything
that can be done to get rid of these?

Thanks,
