   When I have seen this, it is unrelated to how someone disconnects from the   
   BBS, so it might or might not be of any assistance but here goes...   
      
   binkit will peg a CPU at 100% if it gets hung. It is supposed to time out   
   if a connection gets hung but doesn't always do so.  I reported it a couple of   
   times and it was supposedly "fixed" but then later it will start doing it   
   again.  After the third time I quit using it.   
      
   My suggestions are:   
      
   (1) check and make sure an inbound or outbound binkit connection is not hung   
   (2) if the issue persists, stop using binkit and use binkd instead   
      
   Bear in mind that, if you are on linux or another OS that strictly enforces   
   user access, binkd will need to run under the same user as synchronet   
   in order for things to work smoothly.
