Thanks Tobias,

I will be away with no easy access to box2 for the next day, so I
don't want to touch anything that might cause a bigger problem that
I can't fix. That said ... I don't think the runaway rnapshot process
is the cause of the problem, although it might be a symptom of something
else. I can connect to source.squeak.org on 9090 and it works fine, so
the CPU usage is not directly causing a problem.

I will try restarting apache (sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart) and see
if it helps.
