[cobalt-users] to many processes raq3

["cars-sold.com" <info@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

anybody give me a clue as too identifying the culprit in this read out below
(raq3) - reboot and then watch it quickly grow without any real chance to
investigate what might be happening before the servers down again.

Thanks

Gary
