Strange Gaim Problem in FC3

Hello All,

I don't know what's going on on my workstation at the moment. I have Gaim 
running FC3 and Gnome and was out of my room to eat. Since two hours i didn't 
have seen my screen. Now when i came back there was 91 Gaim instances running 
and i couldn't do anything because the whole system was freezed cause of very 
high load:

[root at daemon ~]$ uptime
 21:46:50 up 11:51,  4 users,  load average: 38.58, 89.60, 57.76

A SSH login to that machine took about 2 or 3 minutes to get connected. After 
doing # killall gaim it took some minutes until the load was normal again:

[root at daemon ~]# uptime
 21:51:32 up 11:55,  4 users,  load average: 0.51, 35.95, 43.22

I have done the SSH login from my laptop so after looking at my workstation i 
saw, that X or the Gnome desktop was totally freezed. I think it was Gnome 
because the mouse works but I don't know about that.

I don't need help for this problem but just wanna say what happend. Maybe i'm 
going to report a bug about this but maybe i can hear some information here 
so i don't need to post a bug cause everybody knows allready? ;-)

Kind regards

# Johannes
