I've also seen this with cron (I don't run inetd). I have a cron job which
kicks off updatedb in the middle of the day. I would get the crss-related cpu
eating at about the time the updatedb job kicked off. Stopping cron would
sometimes (but not always) fix the problem. I sometimes run gvim (not-cygwin)
as a background task, lauched from a cygwin rxvt. Closing down all my gvims and
rxvts would also sometimes fix the problem.
BTW, I recall seeing some discussions on the web about various bugs in crss. I
couldn't find a real good example page, but here is a google link for your
convenience :)
