php4 eats up...
Hi group/list,
on my 'Sid' box which runs mostly apache/rrdtool/cacti, some php4 process is
eating up cpu cycles - top shows me:
top - 07:48:50 up 2 days, 15:13, 1 user, load average: 2.16, 2.39, 2.39
Tasks: 157 total, 4 running, 153 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 88.3% user, 11.7% system, 0.0% nice, 0.0% idle

If I 'kill -HUP 21641', everything looks ok again. The apache/rrdtool/cacti
logs show me nothing about the problem, so where should I look?
How could I find out *what* this php4 process is trying to do and why it
takes so long?
TIA,
