Not here. After about 15 seconds it went back to hogging the cpu.

`ps -e |grep fax` : Shows <pid> TS 0 3:10 faxgetty

Which should be TimeShared priority 0 and used 3 min 10 sec of cpu time
and only up
for less than 4 minutes!

My rtpm agrees in principle with yours. I did also notice the number of
calls went to about 25K and IP errors ( 2 sec updates).

If you have any other suggestions, please, let me know.
