Just curious if anyone else had this problem?  I have nedit version 5.0.2 on my
6.2 install.  I use it at work sometimes to write my perl scripts because of
the nice context highlighting.  I decided to do a little work at home.  I
hadn't used nedit on this install before.  I opened it up it was working fine. 
I switched the language setting to perl and things went nuts.  My system got
slow REALLY quickly.  I saw the memory meter start creeping up.  I tried to
catch it but it was too late.  My terminal came to a stop, couldn't type, tried
everything. . .even tried to kill my X server from the keyboard. . .nothing. 
The disk was writing constantly by this point and it forced me to do a hard
reboot.  After restarting I tried to start it again to confirm that it was the
problem and as soon as I switched the language setting it started again.  This
time I was ready so I caught it before it brought me down.  

First question - Is there anything else I can do the next time this happens
other than the hard reboot?

Question 2 - Does anyone know if there is a fix for this bug, or should I just
forget it and use a different editor for working with perl?
