Yes.  I've also seen it with the llbd and glbd.  My guess is that the NCS 
services aren't as robust as they should (could?) be, and that they start
thrashing if/when communications are interrupted/corrupted.  I've noticed
the llbd running amok fairly often after the tcpd dies or gets aborted.

When this occurs, I've just sigp'ed the NCS services, and re-started them.

Lately, we haven't seen the registry daemon running amok, so I don't know
what the scoop is.
