That is exactly what happens.  All the slaves die, the multiplexor thinks 
they're idle, and 'md-mx-ctrl scan /' returns the above.  I'm not sure 
what the 'scan /' does.  If it is an OS problem, how would i determine if 
SIGCHLD's are really being lost.  Would turning on multiplexor debugging 
be of any help?  This is on redhat AS2.1, kernel 2.4.9-e.24enterprise SMP, 
with 5g RAM.

Below is the output from my MD restart script.
