I'm not running Mozilla apps on this box. It's been built as a pure number cruncher box so has a minimum install. I turned it off for a longer period and then went thru mcc enabling and then disabling the services again. So far it is behaving itself so this might be cured now. Will leave it running over-night to confirm X is not going to slip into runaway mode again. magnet
