I noticed that a program I'm working on ran about twice as fast on my
laptop as on my desktop, both 486/33, so I looked for hogs:

USER       PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS TT  STAT STARTED       TIME COMMAND
root        64 98.8  0.9   172  136 ??  Rs   Fri07PM  5279:57.06 routed -q
 etc.

Could someone suggest what routed might want with 98.8% of the cpu and what
might cause such behavior?

I've never noticed this before but would like to think it hasn't been this
way too often...

:: uptime
12:05pm  up 3 days, 16:44,  3 users,  load average: 1.00, 1.00, 1.01

This works out to 5324 minutes, so the 98.8% thing isnt an error.

I've since killed it and restarted and it seems to be behaving itself.

System is NetBSD-0.8, I know I'm running a little out of date here but since 
I've had no real problems, I haven't wanted to reinstall.

Is this an old bug that's been fixed or should I attribute this to cosmic rays?

Curious,
gps
