Package: linux-image
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Something is causing entries in ps ie. /USR/SBIN/CRON which increase in number 
over time.
 This condition does not allow a shutdown or reboot for resetting the system.
 The system must be powered off to recover.
 I have seen as many as 680 of these processes.
 Machine does not lock totally but some things do not work like su and starting 
a new ssh session.
 I can not log into the desktop after about 10 minutes after power off/on.
 I am eliminating programs one by one to determine which one may be the 
problem, however 
 the larger issue is the inability to reboot and having to power off. The 
system should
 be recoverable and immune to a program creating hung/zombie processes. Also ps
 reports /USR/SBIN/CRON which does not exist in the system.
