I noticed sluggishness on our mail server. Doing top, portmap is
taking up about 40% of the processor:

>77 processes: 2 running, 10 waiting, 20 sleeping, 40 idle
>Cpu states: 19.2% user, 0.0% nice, 80.7% system, 0.0% idle
>Memory: Real: 76M/249M act/tot Virtual: 37M/768M use/tot Free: 100M
>
> PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME CPU COMMAND
> 363 root 51 0 2256K 139K run 385.1H 38.50% portmap

Has anyone seen this before? I was planning on rebooting the system,
but I was currious what might be causing this. (The system has been
up for 315 days)

thanks,
James
