rmiregistry - going crazy and cant stop it -- need help !

[dhavalvthaker]

hello..
I have run into one issue with rmiregistry..and need help plz !

i m working on a hpux 1 B.11.23 U 9000/8000 with java version 1.5.0.06

i started rmiregistry on a different port "rmiregistry 8080"

next i saw that it is eating up all of one CPU on 2 CPU box.

CPU TTY PID USERNAME PRI NI SIZE RES STATE TIME %WCPU
%CPU COMMAND
1 ? 4533 jonbd 152 24 1239M 36660K run 2711:13 100.17 100.00
rmiregistry
0 ? 7980 oms 178 20 1097M 589M run 357:57 8.60
8.59 java

so now i want to stop it and i cant !

so far i have tried,
1) doing "kill -9 ProcessID" but no effect..even root tried but cant
stop it

2) wrote a small code to unexport the object i had put in ..but that
failed as well..
looking for registry at port 8080 at hostname 10.23.1.101

3) i can ask for reboot of the box but that will be my last
option..also not knowing what caused it..i cant really dare to run
rmiregistry again ! :-(

any ideas or suggestions wud be a big help..

Thanks in advance..
