Once again I got a "we're off the air" call, couldn't VNC into the box, 
and connected via ssh to find Xorg eating 80% of the system memory and the 
load displayed by "w" was up over 3.

There are two Rivendell machines I shall call Tweedledum and Tweedledee; 
they are identical in every way: same hardware, same software, same 
schedule. Tweedledum is the one that has had the problem both times; 
Tweedledee just keeps on going like the rabbit in the old Ennergizer 
commercials.

I am going to guess that x11vnc is responsible; I never had the problem 
when I was running vino-server. Tweedledum gets a lot more VNC connections 
than Tweedledee, and sometimes the screen will freeze during a VNC 
session. Could x11vnc be buggy on Debian Squeeze?

I've killed x11vnc for now and gone back to vino-server. I also set up a 
cron job to notify me if Xorg eats more than 5% of memory; maybe I can 
catch this thing in its early stages.
