I've seen something like it on a -current desktop with no Xen in sight,
with firefox-3.06.  I think there was a fix in 3.06 for something like
it, but I'm still seeing it.  It seems to occur more when I have a lot
of firefox windows and tabs open.

audit-packages suggests that I'm building 3.07 tonight; I'll see what
happens...
