The output from top normally won't show you that many entries. However,
when the number of processes reaches this point you might want to get a
listing of the processes from ps and pipe the output to a file for
review. Something like:
ps aux > ps.log
should do nicely. Then you can read back through the output later to
find out what was running and as who.
