I'm having a problem with a process called "aspell" running by user "cpanel" and I'm not sure what it's used for, but it's killing my box.
The command (/usr/bin/aspell -a -d american -H) is running under the cpanel user and it gobbles up RAM until the box dies.
We can reproduce this behavior with this: echo "<html><body>blah lindner" | /usr/bin/aspell -a -d american -H
The exact command that was using over 1.2G of memory before we killed it last time was:
/usr/bin/aspell -a -d american -H
Any ideas or pointers would be appreciated.
- Scott
