Xorg (6.9) sucking up CPU cycles

[Bruce Burden]

    Hi folks,

	I have been having a problem on my system:

FreeBSD tigerfish2.my.domain 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #5: Mon Jan 15 11:31:29 CST 2007     root at tigerfish2.my.domain:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/TIGERFISH2  amd64

   where I need to kill java (jbidwatcher) and Xorg about every
   5 days to keep Xorg from consuming around 80% of 1 cpu. If I
   go to a virtual terminal, and kill java:

70143  ??  S    226:45.23 /usr/local/jdk1.5.0/bin/java -jar /usr/local/share/java/classes

   which is running jbidwatcher, and then xdm:

70104  ??  Ss    25:46.37 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -auth /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/authdir/authfiles

   then things are fine - getty notices that xdm is gone, and it
   gets restarted, I log in and everything is good.

	If I do not kill those from a virtual terminal, then I
   have to power cycle the machine, because X does not respond. I
   have no keyboard or mouse (that I can tell), CTL+ALT+Fx does
   not do anything, etc.

	Any suggestions? There is nothing suspicious in the Xorg
   log file, and the primary manifistation that anything is wrong
   is that moving from virtual desktops (I use a 2x2 under fvwm2)
   is slow to redraw the desktop. "top" reports that I have aroud
   1GB available memory, so that is not the problem, but it sure
   seems like Xorg is thrashing.

	And why it seems to depend on jbidwatcher is also a mystery.
