I'm experiencing this 100% CPU problem using Intrepid (fast-user-switch-
applet 2.24.0-0ubuntu6). The problem happens when I switch from my
user to some other user, but not every time or to any pattern I can so
far work out. I typically keep my session logged in for days while
other users of the machine log in and out more often. This machine has
3-4 active users, all local no NIS/LDAP being used.
While the process is using 100% CPU, strace shows it is constantly
trying and failing to read a file, over and over. Here's a small
portion of the output. Next time it happens I'll connect gdb and see if
I can get any more information.
read(21, 0xbf972089, 1) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
read(3, 0x8752894, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
