defunct ifconfig

[Lance Albertson]

Hey all,

I'm having a couple of strange problems lately with cfengine that I
think could be related. It seems that cfagent is somehow making a
defunct ifconfig process that just lingers. Along with this, there seems
to be multiple cfexecd/cfagent processes that also seem to linger. Below
is some of the ps output for the machine. This has just recently been
happening and I don't think I've changed anything lately to make this
happen. The only major thing is I've upgraded cfengine to 2.1.5 lately.

Sorry I don't have much other debug info, but I thought I'd at least see
if any of you have encountered this before. There's not much info in the
logs that I can see so far. Anyhelp would be great!

Thanks!
