>Description:
When running HylaFAX processes (faxq and faxgetty) both processes will eventually consume near or exactly 100% WCPU (as reported by top) after less than a minute.

Attaching truss to the appropriate faxq process ID, the following is reported:

select(7,{6},{},{},0x0)                          = 1 (0x1)
read(6,0x7fffffffcf40,2047)                      = 0 (0x0)
[repeated until process is terminated]

Attaching truss to the appropriate faxgetty process ID, the following is reported:

read(4,0x7fffffffcf20,2047)                      = 0 (0x0)
gettimeofday({1329983307.368083 },0x0)           = 0 (0x0)
gettimeofday({1329983307.368114 },0x0)           = 0 (0x0)
select(9,{4 8},{},{8},{6.102623 })               = 1 (0x1)
gettimeofday({1329983307.368192 },0x0)           = 0 (0x0)
read(4,0x7fffffffcf20,2047)                      = 0 (0x0)
gettimeofday({1329983307.368267 },0x0)           = 0 (0x0)
gettimeofday({1329983307.368299 },0x0)           = 0 (0x0)
select(9,{4 8},{},{8},{6.102438 })               = 1 (0x1)
[repeats until the process is terminated]

>How-To-Repeat:
Start the HylaFAX processes. Occurs with both MultiTech ZBA (serial and USB) and USR Courier (serial) modems. HylaFAX operated normally under FreeBSD 8.2-p6 i386.
