   Formatted memo causes CPU to 100%

   Greetings all.   
      
   I've now run into this issue twice in a year, so it's an epidemic!  There   
   are several formatted memo fields on a table.  Twice now, when a user is   
   trying to view or edit one of those fields, the system slows to a crawl &   
   the CPU jumps to 100% for a minute or longer.  Eventually, it returns to   
   normal.   
      
   What I have determined is that somehow the formatted memo field's value is   
   corrupt, causing this behavior.  To fix this, the entire value must be deleted   
   & then reentered.  I even got a strange Pdox message today 'internal catalog   
   size exceeded', which got no hits on Google.   
      
   Does this sound 'normal'?  Any ideas on the cause?  Also, any good ideas   
   on how to programmatically check all records to see if any other rogue values   
   exist?   
      
   Thanks,
