I noticed today that several time my cpu usage would go to 100% and stay there. After running the command 'top' I noticed that 'edit' was consuming all of it. This would happen right ouf no where. Attempting to kill it by doing 'kill pid' or even '/bin/kil pid' does not work. The process remains and I have no idea why this is happening. Any Ideas?
