Another DBA accidentally launched a batch (.bat) file which rebooted the server, which resolved the issue.  However, the link was working fine.  I stopped and started the DTS services and it did not correct the problem.  In all of my research, it appeared the hung/orphaned processes were not doing anything.  It appeared as if the master..sysprocesses table was not cleaned up properly until the reboot. 

I was hoping to resolve this without a reboot but now I'll have to wait for it to occur again.

I will still take an answer if anyone has one.

Thank you.
