I recently installed SuSE 6.4 on a new Dell PIII 800 machine. A process 'manpath' owned by root gets started periodically but never terminates, and consumes 99% of the CPU. I've been killing it manually, but also discovered that if I don't, at some point a second manpath job gets started as well. I'm assuming that a cron job initiates this, but I'm at a loss to find the problem. I haven't found anything in the online documentation. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Edit the file /etc/manpath.config and remove all the lines begining by
MANDATORY_MANPATH wich refers to directories than doesn't exists on your
system.
