Weird 'collect' problem

Ok. I have a box (ES40, Tru64 5.1, patch 3) on which I want to run "collect" on
a continual basis. It was running the other day for about 3 hours, when all of
a sudden, the "collect" process jumped up and started chewing up 198.2 % CPU
usage. The database running on that system didn't care for this at all, so I
killed the collect process. Then I started it up again a bit later, and then
about 5 hours later, it did the same thing again. I got the 198.2% from the
"top" program, as well as the output from a ps -ef|grep collect.

The version of collect that I'm running came with the OS--so I would think it
should work:

broadway:/>collect -V
Collector Version = 2.00, Collect Datafile Version = 14, Compiled: Dec 1 2000
broadway:/>

And the exact command I am running (that someone from this list sent to me):

collect -ol -i60,120 -f /var/adm/collect.dated/collect -H d0:5,3m -W 1h -M 10,15

So that's it. Is this a known problem with a (hopefully) known solution? TIA
