Subject:   Leftover processes using as much CPU as they can get

I have noticed in the past few weeks of tracking -STABLE that I
regularly see processes not terminating properly.  For example, I
have a perl+curses-based menu system for several users on my system.
Just about any day of the week I can come in to my normally idle
system and see a few hanging perl5's in the run state all using as
much CPU as the system will let them (this morning I saw four, all
using about 22% CPU.)  kill -9 will safely get rid of them.

I don't have a lot of details yet; I was wondering if anyone else
has seen this or if it's probably my poor old 486 just getting
ready to die.  If anyone else has seen this I will be happy to
start investigating further.
