Comment 16 for bug 458453

After the yesterday upgrade of Ubuntu, at each startup of my laptop, beam.smp is launched and uses 80% of CPU. I am bound to kill it without really knowing what this process does exactly. Up to now, there is no visible consequence for the desktop.

I am running kernel 2.6.32-24-generic and the last upgrade was concerning some applications (but not the kernel itself) but I don't remember which ones. The upgrade was done using Ubuntu standard automatic procedure. My version is 10.04.
