Tether may make your Droid very hot

I am running Tether on my Droid. It works fine, but after an hour or so it always goes belly up and I have to shut down the app on the PC and the phone and restart both.

Today, I was tethered and noticed my network icon with the yellow exclamation in Windows 7 and I can't get web pages to load, so I go over and pick up my Droid and the CPU is at 100% and the OMAP sensor is reading 131 degrees Fahrenheit. I ran my task manager and killed the Tether app and the CPU immediately went back down and the phone began to cool off.

So, unfortunately, I will not be running the Tether application again until this has been fixed. This kind of thing has the potential to damage a phone.
