At this point, there is no NPTL at all in Debian for alpha. I think that NPTL *just* got enabled for powerpc in the last upload. So these zombie threads (which I'm also seeing on my alpha running a 2.4 kernel, btw) are probably a bug in glibc 2.3.5's LinuxThreads; they may or may not affect other architectures than alpha. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
