I can't believe you capture the uptime graph ;)

Seriously though - it's an infinite loop.  There are a few different
places it could be, and my money is on a bogus .seen file.  There were
definitely some infinite loops in there, and the bugs in skiplist db
locking in 2.2 mean you could have any old rubbish show up over time.

So I'm guessing it's a particular folder access that triggers the
runaway process each time.
