yup. I could. found out that it is the email / newsgroup client that is causing the tsr activity, if I don't use it then seamonkey doesn't stay resident in memory actively checking mail and newsgroups. gonna have to think about getting a debug enabled build, both for this and to try to get a core from the random crashes of seamonkey. if I can handle the stupid message bars long enough to get one. those things are why I refused to ever USE firefox, seamonkey going with them will drive me away from it also very soon. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
