Svenne, When troubleshooting issues like this, I often use strace to attach to the pid of the program in questions. A lot of times seeing what the process is doing when pegged at 100% CPU will lead you to the solution. The nice thing about strace is you can attach to the already running process and then detach without affecting it negatively. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
