The top post 10 posts are about XNU (and I know about that behavior on 
my own hardware -- the bug is still there at least in 10.6.8). The 
second post, which I hadn't looked at, is at #11. Don't know what's 
going on there -- would be nice to have some more information about the 
hardware than "Powerbook G4".
