Hi John,
My pstree with 8 zombie process:
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p50/Marcelo_Gondim/ps_zps6f6d8330.png
I can not identify the problem with the pstree. Identified that the
zombie processes are related to the sshd process.
I had 4 servers that ran 9.xand did not have this problem. When I
upgraded these servers for 10.0, these problems happened.
