Comment 16 for bug 804946

I haven't seen it in a while,
but it was really bad to my CPU,
potentially overheating, and making
using the machine a royal pain (ITA)
and not killable as off some gdm or other
process, so if it returns,
I'll scream bloody murder again ;-/
but until then all is right, relatively
right in the world... ;-/
