It's possible that these problems are not limited to our threaded 
development code. I'm just installing modules with 1.6.5.1 (Kubuntu) and 
it eats 100% of processor time after installing. Nice thing about 
multicore is that the system is completely usable even if one app goes 
wild...

The reason why I'm installing modules right now is that I'm going to run 
a private local ftp server for testing purposes. Hopefully that helps me 
with debugging.
