Fair enough. Since it hadn't appeared to be multi-threaded in the past 
I was thinking more along the lines of runaway process than anything 
else. Point taken.

In fact the behavior began when I moved from a redhat stock kernel to a 
build I did myself off of clean sources. Given the discussion today 
what I'm seeing would be more consistent with a multi-threaded app than 
before, so perhaps redhat was reporting processes/threads in a strange 
way.
