Re: Strange things in TaskLand...

Some of this looks like NetServer - I'm guessing here, but the SMB prefix 
is Samba, I think. The ZLS prefix is related to QZLSFILE, which are the 
prestart jobs that handle file shares. The RM prefix is probably Resource 
Management.

The P0 might be hooked up with some of the new Unix-type APIs - there are 
lots of QP0* programs.

Are you using a thin client? The BOOTP in there suggests that to me.

Where in memory does the link loader put all these task names? It'd be kind 
of "fun" to look at that area with SST.  (Knees knock on cue)

Now, back to work.
