``top'' and other process issues on 4.10-R

I've been able to reproduce it nearly every time I try to vi -- on machines
with HTT completely enabled also now too.

Does anyone know of any tests that I could conduct which might help point a
finger at the culprit?  I'm pretty much at a loss of idea's...

Thanks,

Phillip Salzman
