Frank,
I can ping when it's interrupted. I also just noticed that the PID's are incremented when it comes back. For example just now it went from 83 & 84 (R & S respectively, 80 was zombied) before the pause to 89, 90 & 91 (S, R, S respectively) after.
-Z

just say you weren't paying much attention...
