100% CPU - kdeinit / klauncher

[Brian T. Schellenberger]

I recently installed KDE3 under FreeBSD.

>From time to time, my CPU usage shoots up to 100% and then when I do "top" to 
see who is using the CPU so much, it shows something like this:

  PID USERNAME       PRI NICE  SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
 4926 bts             55   0 18180K  9972K RUN    456:51 93.41% 93.41% kdeinit
 1811 bts             10   0  2332K  1568K nanslp   6:24  2.00%  2.00% xosview
 1685 bts              2   0 86144K 82832K select  30:27  0.00%  0.00% XFree86
 
(All the rest of the processes show as 0.00%, too.)

At least this time, when I occured to me to try it, it turned out that process 
4926 was a "klauncher" process.

Is there anything I can do to prevent it from getting so greedy?  Should I 
report this as a bug?  I'm never quite sure of precisely what the cause is, 
which makes it awkward to report as a bug . . .
