I just noticed this odd behavior on 3 of my debian linux boxes a few weeks
ago (all running 1.3 with a 2.0.36 kernel). I've noticed something else
too...
root 13 99.9 0.0 800 44 ? S 06:32 820:59 update
(bdflush)
Don't know why update is showing 99.9% cpu, however it doesn't seem to be
affecting anything. I also noticed a problem zsh (which I use for my login
shell), version 3.0.2, which only takes the first 2 characters of a
commandline and doesn't show the rest.. but an upgrade fixed that.
Overall, something's really weird, but hasn't seemed to affect anything
other than those minor issues.
