Hmmm, tried 1/2 h here already with no success. Wanted to track down what's 
going on. And it was here all with local files, so at least in my case I 
would hardly doubt any file mounts. Especially as X.org hawgs up all the 
spare CPU cycles of one of the cores.

then I won't be able to access this mail easily ... hate printing mails ...)
