have you tested the theory that your power config needs fixing? IIRC
there've been a few threads recently talking about a symptom you
mention the resolution to which was posted (I think) by Randy Fishel
explaining how to adjust your config.

you could easily test this theory by doing repeated "ps -ef | sort -n
+1 | tail " and looking at the jumps the pids make (assuming they
haven't wrapped around yet, which in itself - if it happens early
after boot - is probably a good indication that your theory is good).
