Are the HTML based lists being downloaded? I.e., are you pulling them off
the net, or are they just some local files? And is the process forked so
that you can continue working in Squeak in the foreground? Is this Squeak
also, e.g., serving files?

This sounds similar to a problem I've had on occasion in Win95 with PWS and
a Swiki (on 2.1). I get a sort of white square in the squeak window with
these sorts of messages (it's been a while so I don't remember precisely).
The circumstances were a *lot* of hits all at once.

You might try keeping a log file to get a better idea of what's happening
at the point of failure.

Oh, you said that it only fails "whenever you're not at your desk". Does
this mean that if you leave for 5 minutes, it's toast? If your screensaver
kicks in for a second, does it go belly up? Is it only overnight that the
problem shows up?
