I did attach to it with gdb at one point to try and figure out what it was running, but because it was compiled w/o debugging symbols I didn't get anything out of a backtrace except for something similar to: #0 0x28557c28 in ?? () #1 0x804f0c7 in ?? () #2 #3 0x2851f918 in ?? () #4 0x8053038 in ?? () #5 0x8050273 in ?? () #6 0x8056369 in ?? () #7 0x28388581 in ?? () #8 0x28388369 in ?? () #9 0x2838960c in ?? () #10 0x283882f5 in ?? () #11 0x805dca2 in ?? () #12 0x804f020 in ?? () (this is from process 92724 which is still running). I might try and compile kvt with debugging support and see what it's doing; I think I can repeat the problem at will.
