Description Nicolas L. 2008-06-23 22:57:39 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=41191

to reproduce:
in KDE launch konsole
su
enter root password
top
close konsole

result:
the "top" process is still alive and eats 100% CPU



this isn't related to top command , in fact tail -f has the same behaviour
this isn't related to root user only, in fact, using su an_other_user - has the same behaviour

This bug is valid under kde4 and kde3
