Sleep process becoming child process of kernel idle?

Periodically I check the processes running on our Tru64 5.1a PK3 cluster and
it looks like we have sleep processes sitting out there that are child
processes of init, which is a child process of kernal idle. If using a
command such as:

sh -c sleep 60

what could cause it to ever become a child process of kernel idle?

Our glory is not in never falling, but rising every time we fall.
