I had this problem with gamin and tryed to generate a backtrace but there are
some this to notice:

1 - The gam_server was using 100% of CPU time and had not exited so maybe it is
some kind of loop (for / while) error
2 - I had to kill the gam_server to try to run it again and produce a backlog

If there is a way to attach to a running process and do this, please send me
some link on how to do it and I'll be pleasead to help the next time it happens.
