Subject: magic trick ... voila 100% cpu

Note if you are a Firefox user; Firefox is a little overly energetic
in causing those "Program is not responding" often if  you cancel
it. I have been been trying to track these things down. I'll post
them if I can reproduce ithe errors and get the details straight.

But in this case it looks like it is a Mozilla Problem. I could see
if this does anything in Windoze. Glack I really need a test box
where if I smash it I just reinstall things and proceed.

Have Fun,
Sends Steve
