> I've seen that, too. If you use strace -p on it, what is it doing? I've the same issue under Solaris, depending on what tool I run. I can reproduce it for instance with uTorrent (there isn't a decent torrent client that compiles on Solaris without sacrificing a newborn). I've trussed it (strace equivalent) and the result is a logfile full of exactly this: pollsys(0x080D95F8, 72, 0x08047A38, 0x00000000) = 1 recvmsg(26, 0x080B4294, 0) = 0 Basically polling the living crap out of something. -mg
