run away ispell processes

[Mark G. Thomas]

Hi,

I'm noticing that once in awhile I see a stuck ispell process running
for days, eating massive amounts of CPU, that I must kill manually.

mocha(#):/> ps -edaf | grep 12340
   httpd 12340 12339 17   Apr 09 ?       1442:20 /opt/bin/ispell -a -d english
   httpd 12341 12340  0                   0:00 <defunct>
    root  5148  5040  0 14:12:53 pts/2    0:00 grep 12340

I'm running ispell-3.2.06 with imp-3.0 and horde-2.0 on Solaris-8 with 
Apache-1.3.22.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Mark
