Hi,

I updated my system (5-STABLE) just today and now I get extraordinary 
load-values:

'top' says (e.g.):

"load averages: 443.73, 36.47, 60.50"

I haven't running > 400 processes at all!

The man page for GETLOADAVG(3) says:

"The getloadavg() function returns the number of processes in the system
run queue averaged over various periods of time."

So - what's going on here?
