I'm a client on a Debian Woody machine running UML. Once in a while I get
the following email. In the past I've just rebooted and it stops for a
period of months. But this time I'm curious. I haven't rebooted, and have
received the message several times, once daily. There are always 4
processes, and they have different identification numbers on each new
message. Have you seen this one before?
