hi guys,

I'm running RELENG_7 in kernel + world of a few days ago, with Skype 1.4 (thanks so much for the port). Sound card is Intel HDA, video card is ATI, XOrg up to date, XFCE4, 4BSD sched. I've been reinstalling all the ports from scratch, except for diablo-jdk (which is from my 6.2 package), so i also have compat6x installed.

A couple of time already, when I've left the computer alone for a while, i've come back to see the CPU pegged @ 100% on system process, load to over 24. top shows 2 skype processes, one running normally, the other running at something > 100% (once at least 300%+, the other something really high too). Killing this crazy skype proc fixes the issue right away. I definitely did NOT launch skype twice.

It's happened with compat.linux.osrelease both set to 2.6 and 2.4.20. 

any ideas of what's going on?
