Running cpu-cycle-eaters (like the bogomips tool) does also help to significantly reduce the number of intermittent hangs of update-menus. A bit more evidence for a race condition :) regards Mario -- I've never been certain whether the moral of the Icarus story should only be, as is generally accepted, "Don't try to fly too high," or whether it might also be thought of as, "Forget the wax and feathers and do a better job on the wings." -- Stanley Kubrick
