I've been running FC3 since rc3 with no problems.
Starting a few hours ago, since the attempted installation of Macromedia
flash player, I've got "autospawning" processes.
For example, if I reboot everything will be fine. A few minutes later
the fan on my laptop will start howling. I'll run top and find a top
process running at 90% cpu utilization.
If I kill it, it starts running again, but only after I exit top.
All the processes look normal except for two termed migration/0 and
migration/1.
How could a top process autospawn itself ?
I've got all the updates installed on FC3.
Any ideas ?
