What could cause an interchange process to never finish?  Specifically I 
have a situation where every few hours a top will look something like this:


   PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND
14357 interch   20   0 28472  27M 13772 R    20.4  5.5   6:53 interchange
14361 interch   20   0 27768  27M 13420 R    19.5  5.4   6:51 interchange
14355 interch   20   0 27856  27M 14280 R    18.5  5.4   6:28 interchange
14351 interch   20   0 27824  27M 13744 R    16.7  5.4   6:56 interchange
14363 interch   19   0 29524  28M 12580 R    15.7  5.7   6:50 interchange
14353 interch   18   0 27748  27M 13756 R    14.8  5.4   6:21 interchange
15530 interch   16   0  1268 1264   832 R     5.5  0.2   0:00 top
14778 apache     9   0  6680 6680  6228 S     0.9  1.3   0:00 httpd
15531 interch   12   0   388  388   324 S     0.9  0.0   0:00 fea

Look at the times on those things.  Is there a way to set a timeout on 
an interchange process?

Thanks,
Michael
