I'm getting the daily cron jobs from OpenPKG hanging on some machines, sometimes nearly killing the CPU. Here's a sample from one machine that was unusable:

This machine has only been up for 2 days and the find commands are locked up tight. I've had this happen on both a HPUX 11.11 and RHEL3 machine (this output is from RHEL3).


This are apparently updatedb processes from the findutils.
You can try to look with strace (e.g. strace -p 7299), what they are
doing. Did you modify rc.findutils ?

Nope, never touched them. It's weird that the same set of compiled rpm's would cause some machines to hang and others to function normally.
