Right after I tried doing an in situ upgrade of Ubuntu Dapper Drake 6.06 
to Hardy Heron 8.04, I would get a kernel seg fault every time I tried 
opening a thread under Pan 0.132. I ended up just blowing away the 
botched upgrade and did a bare metal re-install.

In terms of the current discussion of the high CPU cycles, I have not 
seen this with previous versions of xorg. But since the installation of 
HH8.04, I have consistent high cpu cycling. It seems that this is a 
known bug in Ubuntu that is related to xorg and the System Monitor. So, 
it's possible that this is not exclusive to Pan at all. And for what 
little it's worth, the same high cpu cycling does not appear under 
Windows XP.

All the best,

Kurt
