No, not in this case. The machine does run warm, and I run about 1.3 buildworlds/day on it (on average, lately -- used to be a lot closer to 2/day). And it was on a flat, hard surface at the time (and I don't think it was doing a buildworld). Indeed, I'm failing to recall most anything useful about the experience... except that I *was* able to cut/paste into xterms (thus eliminating a rogue xlock process as a likely culprit).
