[Bug 828437] Re: chkrootkit cron job went nuts, spawned 14 instances and consumed nearly 90% of my ram

[Jeff Lane]

Serge: at the moment, no.  I can't manually reproduce it. However, I
left the machine sitting over night and came back this morning to find
that it was stuck yet again, this time, the egrep process was using
7.1GB of 8GB, but PS only showed 2 instances running...

I'm currently running tiger manually to see if it's tiger itself, or
something related to running via CRON.  after the manual run, I'll try
running the commands from the cron scripts manually and see if that
recreates the issue.
