I am not sure if this fits properly in this group, but I have noticed
with a program that I am writing for the NeXT, and was figuring that
maybe it is something I am doing that I should be doing.  What
happens is that I run my program and after a while I ^C it to stop.
After that if I do a 'ps -aux' I notice that there is a extra -1 task
running under root.  What could cause this problem?  And, I found out
that it isn't a good idea to try an kill them...
