	Hi gurus!,
	just some help...
	I am working on a web server that is running under Solaris 2.7, I
have a funny netscape4.04 browser daemon that is ussing since a few =
days the
99.4 % of the CPU usage continuosly.
	.....
	# /usr/ucb/ps -aux |head
	USER       PID %CPU %MEM   SZ  RSS TT       S    START  TIME COMMAND
	root      2649 99.4  3.123488 3712 ?        R   May 11 3848:08
/opt/NSCPcom/.nets
	root     10141  0.3  1.1 1544 1272 pts/42   O 12:32:49  0:00
/usr/ucb/ps -aux
	#ps -ef:
	root  2649  2636 99   May 11 ?       3849:59
/opt/NSCPcom/.netscape.bin http://192.168.0.5/
	....
	That is something that happends quite usually always with the same
daemon. We are 4 people opening remote Xwindows on our windowsPCs over =
this
machine and working with netscape browser quite often. Normaly, we kill =
the
process to solve the problem but I would like to know what is going on
here... if is possible...

	For that reason I tried to use a truss and debug some information
about this daemon:

	truss -rall -wall -vall -xall -tall '-s!all' '-t!lwp_sema_wait'
'-t!sigprocmask' '-t!lwp_sema_post' '-t!lwp_mutex_lock'
'-t!lwp_mutex_unlock' '-t!time' '-t!setitimer' -o =
/var/tmp/truss_netscape -p
2649 &

	but I always get only this two lines thousands of times... and I
don=B4t know what it means :o(

	poll(0xFFBEB760, 1, 0)                          =3D 1
	        fd=3D9  ev=3DPOLLRDNORM rev=3DPOLLRDNORM

	Could somebody enlight me with that? Any advice or something to
try....

	hand!,
