I noticed the load go through the roof on the laptop sitting next to me; not surprising during buildworld. But then I looked closer, starred, and called up top. The load was reported at 14.97. X is running, a "portupgrade -arF" was running, and there's an idle lyx. How in the rold did that many processes get launched from -j4? It's still there, above 12 or so for the right-hand 40% or so of my xload window. hawk -- Richard E. Hawkins, Asst.
