That fixes up the problem here as well. Also, note that it wasn't just
the Synaptics driver:

ps alwx|grep Z

1 0 290 3 6 -10 0 0 t> Z< ? 0:00 [events/0 <defunct>]

1 0 1227 3 5 -10 0 0 t> Z< ? 0:00 [events/0 <defunct>]
1 0 1229 3 6 -10 0 0 t> Z< ? 0:00 [events/0 <defunct>]

The ifup was probably attached to either a wireless or Xircom ethernet card,
the net.agent was probably from a PPP connection starting up (based on the PID
of the process).
