No, FreeBSD. It does the same thing as Linux. What happened is that the postmaster got confused by lots of kill requests from the kernel I think so I ended up with 3 of them running. But then I killed them all manually, ipcclean'd and restarted postmaster cleanly. Then, a few minutes later I saw that. However, I might be getting mixed up as to the order of events, so it is probably me or the kernel doing it.
