I have a "ruby" process taking 100% cpu with 1 Thread running, taking 36.3 mb Real Mem. It disappears after running for 5 seconds and comes back again after another 5.

upon looking at the open files and ports from the activity inspector, this is the following information:

Code:
/
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/libruby.1.dylib
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/hpricot-0.8.4/lib/hpricot_scan.bundle
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/hpricot-0.8.4/lib/fast_xs.bundle
/usr/lib/dyld
/private/var/db/dyld/dyld_shared_cache_x86_64
->0xffffff802c8911b0
->0xffffff8026af1810

Anyone have this problem? I'm not sure whether one of my apps would use ruby, but at the moment I only have finder, console, terminal and activity monitor on.
 
Are you building anything in the Terminal?

Check /var/log/system.log to see if it makes any mention of a process being restarted regularly.
