here is the output of the first few lines of top

  PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND
17206 sfchase   19   0  2932 2932  1964 R    97.8  0.7  39:02 smbd
17753 root       9   0   900  900   660 S     0.9  0.2   8:56 top
19848 root      13   0   904  904   668 R     0.9  0.2   0:00 top
14394 root       9   0  1548 1548   800 S     0.1  0.4   0:25 nmbd
    1 root       8   0   480  480   416 S     0.0  0.1   0:14 init

so it looks like 17206 is a runaway...

hostname:~# strace -p 17206
hostname:~# kill -HUP 17206;strace -p 17206
--- SIGSTOP (Stopped (signal)) ---
hostname:~# kill  17206;strace -p 17206
--- SIGSTOP (Stopped (signal)) ---
hostname:~# kill -9  17206;strace -p 17206
+++ killed by SIGKILL +++

not very interesting output from strace...
am I doing something wrong?

thanks

brad
