Sounds to me like a fork bomb or something similar. Every now and then these crop up in weird places. Watch ps or top to see what is forking so much. (watch 'ps ax | wc -l' if your lazy like me) I had to do some interesting twists to get around a fork bomb type problem when I moved to debian. Debian's which command is a bash shell script. So it would source my profile every time it was run, which would call which, which would source my profile.......
