My machine has the same symptoms. 

On my machine this is _very_ easy to reproduce. Occasionally the
gnome-spell-component crashes and then of course it can't hog the CPU. 

The problem does not exist _while_ editing a message. It appears when a
message has been sent or saved for sending it later or if it is
discarded. 
Every time I do one of these things, the spell component starts hogging
all free CPU. 

I use the 'ps faux' command. 

While i am writing a messsage the output of the command looks like this
and there is no CPU hogging: 

aj       18747  0.5  0.4 17264 6848 ?        S    12:38   0:00 gnome-gtkhtml-editor 
--oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_GtkHTML_Editor_Factory --oaf-ior-fd=23
aj       18751  0.3  0.3 17444 5964 ?        S    12:38   0:00 gnome-spell-component 
--oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Spell_DictionaryFactory:0.1 --oaf-ior-fd=25
aj       18758  0.1  0.2  4200 3104 ?        S    12:39   0:00  \_ ispell -a -d /usr/lib/ispell/dansk hash


When the message is sent the the spell component starts hogging all free
CPU: 

aj       18751  1.7  0.3 17376 5920 ?        R    12:38   0:06 gnome-spell-component 
--oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Spell_DictionaryFactory:0.1 --oaf-ior-fd=25
aj       18758  0.0  0.0     0    0 ?        Z    12:39   0:00  \_ [ispell <defunct>]

and 'top' shows: 

  PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND
18751 aj        19   0  5920 5920  4544 R    97.0  0.3   0:47
gnome-spell-com

However, the gnome-spell-component occasionally crashes, and in that
case, there is no CPU hogging. 

I am running woody/sid on an AMD T-Bird system with
kernel         2.4.18 
gnome-spell    0.4.1-4
evolution      1.0.7-1
bonobo         1.0.20-1
oaf            0.6.10-2
ispell         3.1.20-21.1

I am looking forward to this problem being solved. It is rather
irritating. And the moment I send this message I am forced to manually
kill yet another process.

There are graceful and politicized ways of approaching black students

This was not one.
