You did not mention what window manager you are using so I am assuming it
is WindowMaker 0.19.x (or earlier?). Try 0.50.x, *something* changed with
pre7 that caused wmaker to freak out with oldselect() or ioctl() somewhere
so its busy looping.

Thanks to those who replied... it was an old version of WindowMaker causing
this problem... upgrading WindowMaker seems to have solved it.
