branden, hi, i loaded xbomb onto my own machine: i get exactly the same issue. my other machine is an acer travelmate c100 (p3 800mhz)
i tend _not_ to get the same issue so much on a 1.7ghz AMD machine, however. that would tend to suggest that the faster the processor, the less likely the problem. l.
