Hmmm.  I _do_ have "transmission" running - it's a bit-torrent thing, 
and I am "serving" a few files - various NetBSD distributions!  :)

I looked a couple of times, and all the torrents were idle.

But definitely thanks for the info - if (when) it happens again, I will 
try disabling the "transmission" stuff and see if the situation gets 
better.
