Thank you, Lee.
I did check "Help" before posting, and got nothing.

What is "crash dump"
owned by root and using 80% of processor time?
There is a program always running in the background on Mac OS X
called crashreporterd. When a program crashes, crashreporterd runs
crashdump to write information to the crash log. Sometimes it also
puts up a dialog asking whether you want to restart, forget about
it, or send information to Apple.
What happens if i force quit?
Hmmm???
If it's constantly taking up 80% of your cycles, crashdump is
either out of control, or there is some other process that's
crashing and restarting over and over again. I'd just rebong the
machine to see if the problem goes away.
If you want more clues about what's wrong, take a look at the
console logs.
