Hello,

I have an occasional problem with pine under FreeBSD 2.1-RELEASE.  See how
this process (below) becomes detached from the user and eats CPU time like
nobody's business?

 USER       PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS  TT  STAT STARTED       TIME COMMAND
 username   143 126.9 10.5  3160 3248  p0- RN    1:12PM   34:00.91 pine

I can kill -9 the process ok, and things return to normal... it is just that
sometimes this goes on for hours before I get to it, yielding .99 (or so)
utilization in the mean time.

Does anyone know why this is, or what can be done about it?  

Thanks.
