Hi all,

I've been trying to resolve a problem with the author of bbkeys, but I
haven't been able to gather the necessary info so far.  The author
cannot duplicate the problem.

Has anyone else had a problem with bbkeys under -stable?  I cannot
duplicate this reliably, but after closing all windows in blackbox, I
choose 'exit' from the blackbox menu.  Then, when running top, I see the
bbkeys process ramping up CPU usage, until it has all free cycles and
the cooling fan comes on.  I have to kill the process.

I've tried using ktrace and truss, but neither produces any output at
all.  Any ideas on how I might track this down?

jm
