Well, somehow things have been corrected and no runaway processes for 
5 days at least.  I wish I could say for sure what was causing the 
problem but the one thing that changed just before it all stopped was 
that we powered off the one mac that was accessing the server.  We 
have since rebooted it and have been using it to access some data 
files with no problems.

I wish I had a better answer than that in case it starts up again but 
that will be the first place I will look if it does.  Thanks again 
for all your help by the way...

Ed
