\_ If the machine is running unattended, it cleans out any processes that
\_ for one reason or another fail to terminate.

\_ Netscape is perhaps the most heinous example of this (though that
\_ wouldnt be running unattended...) .. a crashed netscape can persist
\_ even after you exit from X!

You're running what kind of software on your production box? SW that
doesn't clean up after itself. Yi.

Netscape [browser] on a production box? Double Yi. That's almost as
bad as the fabled opengl screensaver on a NT server box....
