Ah, another idea: can you see a lot of zombie processes if you run "top" before this happens? (Using the 'u' command can restrict the list to programs running as you, using 'R' can show inactive processes at the top of the list, and 'c' shows the full command lines.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
