I have got simmilar problem under Solaris 2.3 and 2.4 with 2.99.15,
but in my case it is not scheduler, but router who leaves a lot of zombies.
It is probably caused by running multiple routers, but having troubles
with some DNS destinations I need more than one router to have reasonable turnaround.

PS.
If somebody can help with this I can serve with any logs needed.
