Every morning when I come to my workstation at work (Debian testing), my
CPU is maxed out at 100%.  If I look at top, I see mandb is taking up
100% CPU.  Looking at my process tree shows this:

  282 ?        S      0:01 /usr/sbin/cron
20594 ?        S      0:00  \_ /USR/SBIN/CRON
20595 ?        S      0:00      \_ /bin/sh -c test -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts 
--report /etc/cron.daily
20596 ?        S      0:00          \_ run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily
20636 ?        S      0:00              \_ /bin/sh /etc/cron.daily/man-db
20642 ?        R    271:01                  \_ /usr/bin/mandb --no-purge --quiet

I usually kill the process.  If I run that last command as root it zips
through it with no problems.

Anyone have an idea of what's going on and how I can fix it?

Thanks,
Rob
