Hi,

While running few of the application on target board, running kernel 2.6.13
compiled for ARM architecture, I get the following ps listings:

 2337 yoku            Z < [events/0]
 2339 yoku            Z < [events/0]

I fail to understand what is the relevance of process "events/0"?

Any pointer will be appriciated.
