This happens to me also on my Athlon XP 2500+ system running 2.6.16.16
(linux-image-2.6.16-2-k7 version 2.6.16-14). The daemon was not started
when I installed the package; when I reconfigured the package to start
it:

sam       5752  0.5  1.4  33508 15024 ?        Rl   08:41   0:02 gnome-terminal 
--working-directory=

root      7531  0.0  0.0      0     0 pts/4    Z+   08:45   0:00  |       \_

root      8237  0.0  0.1   1648  1648 ?        SLs  08:45   0:00 
/usr/sbin/watchdog

Bizarrely, however:

3 watchdog/0
7441 /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure watchdog
7531 watchdog.postin
8237 /usr/sbin/watchdog

# kill 8237
[process 7531 revives and continues normally]

# /etc/init.d/watchdog start
[everything seems normal... so far]
