That would explain why mysql was maxing out my system yesterday.  At 
least now I know.  A few days previous, the kernel was updated, along 
with Firefox (which uses mysql IIRC) and Seamonkey, along with a few 
other things.  I wondered if one of those updates had caused the 
problem.  I just rebooted my computer to clear the problem.
