Hello,

Perhaps somebody can explain me why I have a task (mailman) to eat all of
my CPU:

60 processes: 56 sleeping, 4 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states:  5.1% user, 94.8% system,  0.0% nice,  0.0% idle
Mem:   259688K av,  154984K used,  104704K free,       0K shrd,   90484K
buff
Swap:  385552K av,   12004K used,  373548K free                   25160K
cached

  PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND
25893 root      14   0  3688 3688  2468 R    99.0  1.4   2:42 python
bin/mailmanctl start
25899 root       2   0   924  924   732 R     0.7  0.3   0:01 top


Sometimes I have two python task eating 50% of my CPU each one.

It is normal?
How many time these task are overload the CPU?

I have experienced the same problem recently (v2.0.6), and ended up having
to disable the Mailman web interface as Python2.1 procs were taking down
my machine (a mere P75 w/16MB or ram, which may account for the problem).
Unless I killed the processes immediately, all daemons would eventually
shut down (sshd, apache, even login), requiring me to reboot the machine
when I got home.
