distrib.exe taking 100% of CPU

Hi,
I have bidirectional replication configured between 3 servers. Server A as
the distributor and publisher.
1. I have A publish to B and C.
2. A subcribes to B and C (push to A from B and C)
3. B publishes to and subscribes only to A. (push to A from B)
4. C publishes to and subscribes only to A. (push to A from C)
When I fire a transaction on A that includes several tables, I am getting
locking on 2 tables and the distrib.exe process runs continuosly and cannot
stop it from the task manager.
Any Ideas anyone?

did you set loopback_detection=true?

Yes, I used scripts to setup replication and double checked and it is in
fact there.
Any Ideas?

cause high cpu utilization on initialization, but normally this is
transitory. There have been reports that it can be solved by a reboot.
