I haven't figured this one out.  It's my laptop, so it doesn't have ECC
memory.  It started getting really, really, slow - every so often, the xterm
I had open would suddenly move for a bit, but then it'd freeze up again.
After about 10 minutes, I gave up.  It's quite possible that Mozilla, which
was running, somehow managed to peg the machine, but I couldn't hear the
disk running, so it wasn't thrashing (and anyway, it has plenty of RAM).

It's a mystery to me.  However, given my prior experience, I took the time
to take the machine completely apart and clean the fan out very carefully.
