We, too, are seeing talkd processes that do not go away.  We are
running EP/IX 1.3.2 on a variety of CD 4000s, and I have seen this
on the CD 4680 (equivalent to the MIPS 6280) and the CD 4360 -- and
it is probably occurring on the other  platforms, as well.

Does anyone have any clues on this one??

Thanks.
