I think the software bug is the right answer, I'm getting the same
result on my testing machine:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps aux | head

The zero-pid processes are the same you have on your machine. Maybe some
kind of bug in ps? top is reporting the correct pid for each of them:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
1 root 8 0 480 452 428 S 0.0 0.2 0:04.38 init
2 root 9 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.38 keventd
3 root 9 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.04 kapmd
4 root 19 19 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.12 ksoftirqd_CPU0
5 root 9 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:05.06 kswapd
6 root 9 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 bdflush
7 root 9 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.05 kupdated
