I have no idea.
Another symptom:
Twice, completely randomly, the system froze. The last time was several days ago. The keyboard stopped responding, the mouse, the display... I thought of powering another machine and entering through ssh; but the moment the other machine had finished booting up, my main machine continued working as if nothing had happened.
This has happened twice, and it is very weird. The only thing I know for sure is that it is a software issue of suse 10.3: they started the day after I upgraded.
This thread is sounding suspiciously similar to my drive failure Thursday, following a YOU last weekend. See my thread "ata2 suddenly bad". I mean the randomly "sluggish" aka "lock-up" syndrome. I have since installed an EIDE drive with fresh install of "boxed 10.3", reloaded all my original apps, and have done a new YOU (with the same kernel version as last week). So far...28 hrs and counting...all is fabulous. I can't add anything else, except that there have been several weird threads this week about similar "stall" symptoms...one re oocalc, mine, yours, and a couple others. I had thought mine was due to Beagle, or perhaps because it was an "upgrade" from 10.2. Then I lost both /sda8 and /sdb2...something is amiss somewhere. Or not...I might have had a failing SATA drive...I am currently not using any of /sdb partitions.
