Why is emacs utilizing much memory and CPU on RHEL6?
Issue

- started on a remote host and set to run in the background
- the ssh session to the remote host was terminated (i.e. '
kill <pid_of_sshsession>
')
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6
-
emacs packages of version < 23.1-21.el6_2.1
-
emacs on remote host via SSH
