Something is broken with 7.7 Solaris zwgc.

I noticed that my load was always at 1 on the new 7.7 Solaris.
I noticed that after a day or two of uptime the following report on zwgc:

USER       PID CP   SZ  RSS TT       S    START  TIME COMMAND
wdc        484 80  470  224 ?        S   Jun 13 1589:24 zwgc

So I guessed that zwgc was tight looping.

kill 484

The load crept down.
When the load hit 0, zwgc had gracefully died.

Richard, Ted, we've looked at the zwgc code, what is wrong?
