Hi Greg,

Thanks for the reply.  I will post the message to -current.  I believe
we have discussed this before.  I installed the latest port of emacs
and thought the problem went away.  Actually, I did not have it up
long enough.

I have this same problem over several versions of -current.

All xterms seem normal.

The process is not swapping, the disk is not being accessed.  Emacs
appears to have 6M of swap.  At least if I exit and restart emacs,
swap usage changes by 6M.  But, the disk is not making any noise and
the accessed led is not on.
