Hi:

                We have been using cURL library on Solaris for quite some time without any major issues. Recently we ported this program over to Redhat Linux and ever since that, we have been seeing the processes taking up a whole lot of CPU. The software versions we are using are
                Redhat: Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 4) - ( 2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp #1 )
                cURL: tried both versions 7.10 and 7.14

                Here is what we see:
                ps -e -o pid,size,stat,%cpu

                     23528 4680 S 20.0
                     23528 4680 S 27.0
                      23528 4680 S 34.0
                      23528 4680 S 42.0
                      23528 4680 S 49.0
                      23528 4680 S 28.5
                      23528 4680 S 32.5
                      23528 4680 S 36.0
                      23528 4680 S 39.0
                      23528 4680 S 28.3
                 
                 and we expect ,%cpu be under %1

                What could be causing this? Any ideas and/or suggestions are really appreciated....

                Thank you,
