I realize that CGI's run as the user but before the past few days I've only 
seen one user via top.  It's just in the past few days that I've seen 
this.  It really freaked me at first...I immediately thought "hack in 
progress..." But it been a few days and all VISIBLE signs are that 
everything is ok.

I'm logged in as root via SSH.

Here is my "w"
