Activesync maxes out CPU on Exchange server

[Overclocker]

Fellas:

  I'm a server/network monkey at a small college in Ohio. I have a strange problem with one of our user's phones, a LG Ally.  As soon as I connect it to our Exchange server via Activesync, the server CPU utilization goes up to 90-95%. Continuously. FOr hours and hours, only stopping about 20 minutes after I delete the account from the phone. This makes for several hundred unhappy Outlook and webmail users. Activesync is not hard to set up!  There is very little that can go wrong on the user end! I'm very confused. What's going wrong?!?!?!?

Here are the specifics of the phone:

Model: Ally

Firmware: 2.1-update1 (There appear to be no new updates.)

Baseband: VS740MV7.5210.1013

Kernel: 2.6.26lge@android-build#2

Build: ERE27

SW version: VS740ZV8

Thanks!
