This is an educated guess more than anything. When the application loses the connection to its controlling terminal, it consumes 100% CPU because it is trying to communicate with said controlling terminal. At some point in the past, I was able to reliably repeat the scenario. It seems to be much more difficult now to do it (on my Cooker box, I haven't yet tried it on an 8.x box). I should stress that it is infrequently. It is most usually seen when a remote ssh session has timed out while in vi editing something, but not every time. :-/ Back when ipchains was king, the following line severely cut down on the number of ssh drops that occurred: ipchains -M -S 7200 10 160 but if you're not using ipchains, then that line doesn't do you a whole lot of good.
