Unfortunately I've never been able to find out. Though I'm positive that
its a cronjob getting upset that it can't access a file on an NFS'ed
system. Most likely that process is getting hung and with cron running
jobs for a while before I wake up could leave a bunch of processes running
(though that would have to be at least 8192 processes running!).
Simply put, that is probably my fault for not having a check in place to
be sure that nfs is okay before running the job.
Thank you. :)
