top dies and consumes cpu

[Joel Hammer]

I can kill it with 9 no problem. Haven't tried 15. 
	top -v
	top: Unknown argument `v'
	usage: top -bcisqS -d delay -p pid -n iterations    

 	strings `which top` | grep -i version
	procps version 2.0.6                                    
	
	strings `which top` | sed -n "/[0-9]*\./p" 
	Proc-Top Revision 1.2

	uname -a
	Linux  2.4.5-win4lin #3 Wed Jul 4 16:01:48 EDT 2001 i686 unknown     


I run top without options.
