In my experience with bogus events being created, see this thread:

http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15234

If you try to view one of those events the nph-zms process associated with viewing that event will go 100% compute bound and is nor stopped when closing the viewing window nor when you shut down ZM. A kill <pid> will not kill it, a kill -9 <pid> must be done to finally kill it.

Just reporting this if anyone runs into this, but if this is not known could lead to a having a lot of these processes running tieing up the machine.

I noticed the same thing few times.
nph-zms using 100% CPU is something rare but i have seen it happen few times.
Also, many times i see like 10 nph-zms processes running, although no one is monitoring the cameras. and those nph-zms processes refuse to die with killall nph-zms, need to use killall -9 nph-zms.
