Of course, good point. I was just following ports/UPDATING in this regards.

BTW, I've had this happen again while simply going for a cup of tea -
definitely under 5 minutes. i got it at the start of the cpu spike - i could
see in the gkrellm2 cpu graph precisely where it jumped up. CPU was 159% on
this extra process. 

I've had several lockups on the machine ... I havent been able to pin it down
to skype.. BUT

I've since rolled back to my skype 1.2 package, and I've been running with no
lockups for 7 hours with no lockup (compared that to 4 lockups in the same time
with skype 1.4. Again, it could be a number  of things, i'm still trying to
narrow it down...)

Cheers,
B
