Has anybody seen this before?? The system is an HP9000/330 with 4 meg,
the DOS coprocessor, and the 80 meg disc. The user did the following things.
1) logged in.
2) entered DOS.
3) stopped DOS, and did a rlogin to another machine. When he finished and
tried to re-enter DOS, things went all to pieces. The load started
to climb (reached 9.0 max), idle time was still 90% idle, Free mem
dropped to 16kbytes free, and swap utilization climed to 75% which is
appx. 9 meg.
It's running HP-UX 6.0. There were no other active processes, and just
the usual daemons were running. Below is a snapshot of monitor...

I would've tried to get more data, but updates were taking ~1 min. and
the user wanted his machine back, so exec reboot saved the day. I tried
to kill the process, but ps hadn't kicked anything back after about 5 min.
While I read this group, I'm sure nobody else cares, so please send replies
