Process with no name

[wasabi]

I have an unnamed process without memory or state information (N/A) in my system monitor.
When I close down gnome, I am always asked if I still want to shut down.

Does anyone know how I can find out what causes it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I guess you already tried to see the long name of the process with ps. Maybe a pstree can also help?

You might be able to get further clues using fstat(1), a la:

# fstat -p pid_here
