I'd miss the game. :-)

I used to run top over an ssh connection for days at a time. When the 
machine froze there wasn't anything useful I could see other than that 
top was also frozen.

That's an interesting thought. Once I've installed the new power supply, 
if the problem doesn't go away, I'll give that a try.

When it first started happening I had left the MythTV front end program 
running. I've since shut that program down after watching the TV. It 
hasn't made any difference I've been able to observe, though.

Thanks for your ideas.
