Well that's an idea.  Anyway, while composing some off-list emails I 
noticed that mozilla *really* slowed down, to the point where it was 
taking 1 second per character to display.  I checked top, and it looked 
like mozilla was the only process, and it was hogging a *lot* of CPU 
time.  Has anyone else noticed this?  Also, there are tonnes of 
"[mozilla-bin <defunct>] messages when I do a "ps ax". Has anyone here 
noticed this?
