SeaMonkey eats the CPU as of r232144

2012-02-29 Thread deeptec...@gmail.com
As of r232144, SeaMonkey (a web browser) runs rather slowly and is constantly eating 100% CPU time. Before r232144, SeaMonkey would start up and run faster, and when it is not in use (is idling), its CPU usage would slowly converge to 0. I have a P4 processor [with HT], an r232012 world, and

A panic occured while I was ``rm -rf''ing a large filedirectory tree (that I just created with untar) on an old drive that I have not used for a long time. Unfortunately I'm not 100% sure that the filesystem was clean when I mounted it today. Could that result in such a panic? I don't have the
