    <p>Hi Dirk,</p>
    <p>Running perl against any of my user_asc.o files cause 100% CPU
      and this is from tiny user_asc files of about 2k. <br>
    </p>
    <p>It rapidly fills memory and swap until it barfs lots of stuff
      into syslog with lines like this...</p>
    <p><font face="monospace">Dec  1 20:41:26 dx kernel: [173016.802928]

        anon-rss:1352540kB, file-rss:1076kB, shmem-rss:0kB, UID:1002
        pgtables:2724kB</font></p>
    <p>Full syslog barf message available on request. <br>
    </p>
    <p>Likewise running export_user causes 100% CPU and the cluster to
      stall with the resultant user_asc file rapidly growing into the
      multi GB range and the only way to stop it is to kill -9 it all!</p>
    <p>I suspect there is something terribly wrong inside the users.v3
      file, is there some other way to reset it ?</p>
    <p>This is a brand new node still in testing so destructive options
      can be entertained.<br>
    </p>
    <p>regards</p>

      <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Firstly, use user_asc.o (that's what
        it's there for).<br>

        But it is text and you can 'less' and I guarantee that it will

        <br>
        You can edit it and remove the rubbish. But perl user_asc.o will
