Comment 19 for bug 574462

I should have noted in my comment 18 that I noticed this issue via logcheck, and that I was previously running Ubuntu 9.04 LPIA, with logcheck and did NOT see this problem. I made 2 attempts to upgrade to 9.10 and both failed utterly, presumably due to the terrible LPIA ports. So as noted this is a clean install of 10.04 i386.

This machine sits idle most of the time, except when I'm using to read mail and surf, and it has a bunch of FF tabs open. So I find the following really interesting. Note the minutes-after-the-hour part. What runs then?
