If the filesystem got corrupted it might do something... though in retrospect not likely. > There are a lot of temporary files in /tmp and ~ / remove them and see if the > problem is still there. Actually, I did # top and took a closer look... my pagefile wasn't mounted. I fixed that... I think a hibernate command axed the swap partition. mkswap and swapon then fixed that problem.

Luckily I won't have to do that yet! Back when I was using Kubuntu I didn't know about mkswap and swapon, so I was rather mystified. However, I'm really happy I was able to find the problem.
