Hi, I've caught bzip2 misbehaving. The following "top" output is for compression of /var/log/messages (just over 100kB size) and it's not finished yet: 21172 root 1 118 0 11360K 8248K RUN 11:02 100.00% bzip2 Over 11 minutes, and still going, at 100% CPU. Now that's definitely not right. Anyone else seeing this? Regards, Neil Darlow
