I would like to add my $.02 to this. I am seeing everything Ian has reported with the 4.02 version of XDM from Debian "testing". I have about 1.7 - 2 minutes of 99% CPU usage on XDM startup, and I also have the weird new file in /, but not in /root. My system is a XLT-300 that is pretty "stock". I have only put Debian Alpha "Potato" on it about 2 weeks ago, and upgraded to "Testing" about 3 days ago. The only "non-Debian" program I have on it is the Compaq version of Netscape. This IS rather unusual behaviour, I must say....
