That is where I checked too, NT Task Manager.  I saw 80-90% CPU usage.
Yesterday, I had DDD left running on one NT machine for 5 hours, to confirm
your problems.  It did constantly reported 80-90% CPU usage, but the NT
system had been still running without problems (and I am answering your
message from the same machine).

That was on one PC, with NT 4.0 and SP 4.0, where I had IE 5 with desktop integration and after a while (approximately 2 hours) system was painfully slow.

I tried, DDD,  last night on RedHat 6.0 Linux.  In my little MOTIF application for monitoring
CPU resources, I had the same thing 80-90% consumption of CPU resources, when DDD
was runing.  It did not make Linux unusable either.

I think it is a bug in DDD source code.
