Attack of the beagle zombies

[Paddy Spencer <pspencer azulsystems com>]

Hi all,

I seem to have a large number of beagled-helper zombies; is this number
normal (for beagle)?

[pspencer lt2-pspencer azultests]$ ps -ef | grep beagle

I seem to acquire a new one each time I disconnect from a network and
reconnect to a different one, eg leaving the work WLAN and joining the
home WLAN.

Cheers,

Paddy
