# rpm -qf /usr/sbin/htt
iiimf-server-11.4-41

From a default boot into runlevel 5, do:

# telinit 3

after a few seconds you're left with two htt daemons; the latter is
eating CPU, continually spawning a new child which dies because it
can't bind to port 9010

Comment 1 Warren Togami 2004-05-10 09:33:57 UTC 
The service design itself needs work, but for now the problem can be
avoided by fixing the /etc/init.d/IIim script.  Unfortunately in the
course of investigating this bug, I realized that it causes 100% CPU
usage and total failure of htt's functionality in non-obvious way. =(

Setting FC2BLOCKER and rebuilding now, but it is up to Elliot if he
would allow this update into FC2 final.  If not then this should go
out in the first batch of FC2 updates immediately upon release.
