I have seen this happen several times in the last few weeks. If it
happened before that too, I think I didn't notice!

This happens when I open an pdf document with Adobe Reader 8 inside
Konqueror (file browsing). Killing it doesn't hurt anything else but
reduces the CPU usage to the normal few %.

Thanks - I've been using Linux for years and never knew you could do
that (see the forest, that is)!  I think I'll probably wait until
there's an instance running and then discover what spawned it.

Normally you would be able to see what process spawned what using
  ps axf

(f:   ASCII-art process hierarchy (forest))
But I suppose in your case you may not see much interesting output.
In that case, I'd write a short shell script that does ps ax>file
continually, to try and see when the process starts to appear.

Errant ld-linux.so.2

2008-03-24 Thread Patrick Wiseman
Every now and then, I have an apparently memory-leaking ld-linux.so.2
process running.  When I kill it, nothing else seems adversely
affected.  Is there some way I can identify what's spawned it?
