In fact, the problem went away by rebooting. I don't think I was doing
anything unusual before I noticed the problem... Perhaps this was a
hardware glitch. (I did run memtest86 for a rather long time when I
bought the computer, but of course some things only fail after longer
use, and probably memtest86 doesn't detect all kinds of errors.)

No, I haven't been using anything like that.

Naturally. I suppose that the bug can be closed, since I'm not seeing
the problem any more. If the same symptoms should reoccur, I'll get
back to this, but for now I'll try to see if I can find anything wrong
with the hardware.

Thanks,
