I believe it is actually working 'correctly'.

I am guessing that Lon-CAPA is/was installed on this machine at some
point in time?

When it hangs, do a top

I expect either a diff or a grep is consuming all of the processor
time?

If this is true it will eventually finish.

You can speed this up by deleting the files
/home/httpd/html/adm/help/*.pdf


If this isn't true can you sned me the results of a 'ps auxwww' when
it is 'hung'
