Nothing quite like this with anything before 2.2.17pre9, but slowing down
things a bit might certainly be good idea. As I mentioned, when I leave
it sleeping overnight, about the first thing that comes up is cron.daily
with all its updates, and I have noticed before that the powerbook is
quite sensitive in that stage, read: if I start right then to work
and put too much additional load it is quite prone to freezes.
