stracing the process gives:

rt_sigreturn(0x16) = -1 EINTR (Interrupted system call)
ioctl(6, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS,

{B38400 opost isig -icanon -echo ...}

) = 0
ioctl(6, SNDCTL_TMR_CONTINUE or TCSETSF,

{B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}

) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)
— SIGTTOU (Stopped (tty output)) @ 0 (0) —

(the above output is constantly repeated)

Killing the process and starting it again returned to normal idle usage

Sorry, but I didn't.
I'm trying to reproduce the problem so I can post the web console information.

did you happen to view the web console? that's the most useful for debugging
