Also, I don't see these sorts of issues on either solaris or earlier Linux versions. If I do, they don't chew up memory like these ones do. This leads me to believe that there are other areas I should (or could) be looking in for a clue.
...I'll continue to try to find the right term to use in grepping the kernel source. In the meantime, any other advice is welcome and hereby solicited.

I found a program last year called "killerd" that does exactly what you want. It scans the system periodically for expired logins and orphaned programs, then kills them:

I've looked at the source and it is highly configurable. For example, you can only scan and kill orphaned 'vi' processes, etc. However, I have _never_ run it. It's in my interesting to look at later folder. If it is what you need, I'd be interesed in hearing about the results.
The guy who wrote it has some other cool programs, too.
