This may be a dumb question, but why the hell did the process use up all the CPU time while it was waiting? I tried attaching to it with gdb and with truss, but I got no information. I guess it is some kind of overflow, that caused the process to execute one instruction repeatedly (only guessed, I'm not an expert). If it is an overflow, the cause must be in the environment. KDE was just starting up, it did what it always does on startup.
