Binary package hint: grep Using 10.10 on Dell-Inspiron 1501. Computer randomly hangs or becomes unbearably slow. Can be idle on desktop or more often while in Google Chromium, Pulseaudio crashed due to the cause. Can very slowly switch to tty and open top, and once I do I see egrep using large amounts of cpu and ram, maxing them out. Killing egrep makes the computer smoothly responsive again, but this happens at least a couple times a day and gets quite annoying.
