Problem upgrading to 5.3R and Gnome 2.8.

[George Hartzell]

I'm upgrading a machine from 5.2.1 to 5.3.  The OS part of the upgrade
went fine.

I'm running the gnome-upgrade.sh shell script under screen.  the last
thing that it said was the comment about:

 >>>>> STAGE 4 of 5: Rebuilding all GNOME applications, [...] Note this
 will take a LONG time [...]

There's currently a process that's been running since 3pm yesterday:

  /usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/lib/firefox-1.0/firefox-bin -install-global-extension

It's piled up over 1000 cpu minutes.

The machine's load average is 1.0, firefox-bin has 98+% of the cpu.

The last thing in the scripts log file is

 ===> Building Chrome's registry...

Any ideas what's going on?  This is a 2.8GHz P4 w/ a Gb of RAM.  Could
it really be working *that* hard?
