Top shows it as not doing a thing. As soon as I kill ppp off, the load drops right back down. A friend of mine gets the exact same thing regularily in 2.1.5, and although it rarely happens to me these days, it happens enough to make me curious about what's going on here :-) -mark --------------------------------------------------- | Mark Mayo mark@quickweb.com | | RingZero Comp. vinyl.quickweb.com/mark | --------------------------------------------------- "To iterate is human, to recurse divine." - L.
