I have HP/Apollo's R3 Xapollo server running on a DN3500 (SR10.2.0.6 with
PSK5). Today I went to lunch with an aixterm opened to an RS6000. When I
came back, the RS6000 had crashed and the Xapollo server was in a runaway
state consuming 100% of the cpu. I was able to do a dspst from another node
and a crp (just once). After that, even crps and logins failed. This DN3500 
is a gateway and it wouldn't even route packets. I had to do a reset. Hitting
the process limit was not the problem.

This is the first time I've ever had the Xapollo server go nuts. Has anyone
else seen this sort of behavior?
