This story sounds like it is a memory allocation problem. I looks like the
program is slowly but surely allocating more and more memory. The system
then needs more and more time to free up memory for additional processes.
My suggestion: Let all 6 users start working and then perform a "ps -el"
about every 5 minutes and watch the size of the program. It may not even
take 3 hours to reach the problem as the system will now have the additional
problem of finding memory to run the ps as well.
Paul.
