Every now and again my CPU goes into a 100% usage state after recent rawhide updates (last two days).
IN one case I couldn't figure out what was causing it and had to shutdown anyway, so just turned the system off.
In another, I tried killing gnome-vfs-daemon, gnome-settings-daemon, nautilus, gamin and finally stopped it killing gnome-panel.
in both cases I don't know what triggered it, but the usage was roughly 30-40% user, 60-70% system.
Just now I've discovered I can trigger a similar state as follows:
- Open Applications > Accessories > Dictionary
- Type Role into the Word field and hit enter
- Click on the hyperlink Roll (this should bring up the meaning of
Roll)
Doing this sends my CPU 100% (about 30% user and 70% system)
Closing the Dictionary fixes this immediately.
Is anyone else seeing this (I'll file a bug report if so, or if someone tells me) and has anyone got any ideas why?

I have the same with latest Krusader compiled from CVS. Just leaving it open for a couple of minutes and the CPU jumps to 100%. I have latest rawhide.
