  Not quite that bad, but mozilla does seem to have memory issues in 
severn.  It's something to do with Severn.   The exact same mozilla 
binary worked fine under 9, but not after an upgrade.  It seems to be a 
issue with the mozilla rpms as well.  The 2.6 kernel makes it livable if 
I remember to close, and reopen mozilla at the start of the day.
