%CPU Shows "??"

Hi Managers,

After experiencing a problem (runaway process) with a custom application running on our DS20e Tru64 5.1a system, the output from the ps -ef command shows the %CPU as a "??". Once the process is killed, the output from the ps -ef command still shows "??".
The only way to fix this is a reboot.

Any information on why I cannot see the %CPU value would be appreciated.

Thank you.
