Default pp2def (?) in topas

Hello-

Users are complaining of lag on one of the AIX boxes. Seems fine to
me, in the shell anyway, but running `topas` I see a process 'pp2def'
using huge amounts of CPU time (anywhere from 30%-60%) and my
previously ~90% idle system is now 0% idle. I did a find on the entire
system and can't find a 'pp2def' proggy anywhere. `ps -eaf` doesn't
show it, yet `ps -k` does, which leads me to believe it's a kernel
process. Anyone know what it is, what it does, why it might be acting
like a CPU sink?
