Comment(by Bill Meek <llibkeem@…>):

 Started wondering why I have 13 defuncts and the report before mine and
 the original had only 2.  So, I plugged in an SD card into my card reader,
 restarted the frontend and my defunct count dropped from 13 to 12.

 Most of the time, there are no cards plugged into the card reader.

 On a roll here, I shutdown and disconnected the USB plug for the card
 reader (which has 5 slots CF/SD/uSD...).  Restarting the frontend again,
 I got '''2''' defuncts, (for /dev/sd0?) which I'm guessing match log
 entries:

 {{{
 MMUnix::AddDevice() Error: failed to stat /dev/bdi,
 MMUnix::AddDevice() Error: failed to stat /dev/power,
 }}}

 When the card reader is plugged in, there are 12 Error entries.
 2 each for /dev/sd[defgh] and /dev/sr0.

 {{{

 There are truly no /dev/bdi or /dev/power files, however,


 {{{
 /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.1/host6/target6:0:0/6:0:0:0/block/sr0/bdi
 }}}
 exists.

 My frontend logs go back as far as 2009-06-16, which is when I started
 running
 the trunk.  The 1st entry with this type of error started on 2009-07-21
 and I was
 at 20844.  I update my box about every 100 commits.  The card reader was
 purchased
 on 2008-11-12 and most likely installed the same day, although I won't
 swear to that.

 Hope this helps.

 Bill
