Description John Westlund 2008-06-23 18:04:08 UTC 
Description of problem:
Sometimes after a certain while after fresh boot top shows something like the
following:

top - 17:26:06 up 2:03, 2 users, load average: 2.93, 3.12, 3.17
Tasks: 112 total, 5 running, 107 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 48.8%us, 40.9%sy, 10.3%ni, 0.0%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st
Mem: 1034360k total, 1018448k used, 15912k free, 42412k buffers
Swap: 2931852k total, 38192k used, 2893660k free, 572028k cached

  PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
 5225 root 20 0 3436 1328 1160 R 80.8 0.1 73:14.44 hald-addon-inpu

 6207 root 20 0 163m 25m 10m S 3.7 2.5 6:47.18 Xorg

It has to be killed because it doesn't stop by itself even after many minutes.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
hal-0.5.10-1.fc8.2

How reproducible:
Occurs sometime after boot appears to be aggravated by wireless/bluetooth devices.

Hey Ben,

If you get a chance could you see if you could get this low hanging 
fruit knocked off?  Two-line patch, very straight forward.

Bugzilla is pretty empty, the Ubuntu ticket has more details and the patch.
