Description of problem:
If we have the command top running in one tcp/ip session, for instance putty or 
windows telnet,and if we close the window, the process loose the tty and starts 
consuming a lots of CPU and put the processor down.These kind of behaviour is 
also seen with other programs, like for instance rmcobol.

I discovered that the problem is related with ksh (pdksh), if the user's shell 
is bash, I don't have these problems.

This is a issue related with abnormal program termination.

The version of pdksh is pdksh-5.2.14-13.
