[newbie] kapm-idled - what is it why does it chew up my CPU?

I just upgraded from Mandrake 7.1 to 8.0 a few days ago. I notice that when the system is otherwise idle a process calling itself kapm-idled runs, consuming 75-80% of the CPU. Top shows its size as 0. What is it? Thanks, -- Skip Montanaro ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (847)971-7098
