I know there's been an ongoing discussion about this topic, but recently it happened to me again and I thought I'd share what I did. Essentially I did the following:
# foreach i (`find . -name '*'`)
chown root $i
chgrp wheel $i
chmod o-w $i
end
in one shell and several
# ls -lR | grep root | wc
in another to track the progress of the foreach in the first session. I have X running and for posterity I'll post my 'top' at the end of this message as well as an uptime. The path which this 'foreach' operated in contained about 2500 files, so this created several thousand new processes. As of this writing (about 10 minutes later), the load is still at 1.0. Hope this helps getting this annoying bug taken care of in the next release.
