[IDS-7792443] IDS-7792443 CPU Overuse notice

[John Esak]

Somehow my message got screwed up a little. above the partial sentence was
something like. I just loaded the BSD version of filePro on our freeBSD
server at Verio and...  so, the reference to p.exe was a stupid mistake... I
mean all I did was run "p" for about 10 seconds maybe 3 or 4  times, then I
logged off.  The email notice is from TPTB at verio warning me something is
very wrong...
