I think there are some beagle bugs, possibly triggered by certain file types or file system layout, that cause beagle to spin out of control. I have two boxes running 10.3. One of them runs beagle all the time, and I don't notice it. If I did notice it, I would certainly disable it because this laptop is my main system and I don't really even use beagle that much. On the other box running 10.3, whenever I reboot I'm quickly reminded to go shut down beagle because the fans on that box will crank up and make lots of noise as beagle is stuck at 99% CPU usage (even if left running overnight). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
