Thanks for the replies (and for waking me up). I have probably been reading the 'ps' manpage while sleeping and I had completely forgotten about 'pstree'. (I also managed to miss the option to show dependencies in "System->Administration->System Monitor"). The culprit in my case is 'escd' from the 'esc-1.0.0-16.fc6' package. It spawns a 'netstat' child everytime and seems to fail to 'reap' them when closing. Maybe I should report this as a "buglet"? Alexander
