Loading the same url in opera, I instead see processes: rickert 5856 0.1 0.3 51952 6760 ?

Here are what look to be a couple of the logs for the patch install (to help identify which update): 2010-08-26 10:48:10 <1> nwr2(3524) [zypp] SATResolver.cc(resolvePool):699 Install UBTu_(11628)patch:java-1_6_0-openjdk-3003.noarch(Updates for openSUSE 11.3 11.3-1.82) 2010-08-26 10:48:10 <1> nwr2(3524) [satsolver] PoolImpl.cc(logSat):94 job: install patch:java-1_6_0-openjdk-3003.noarch Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.
