John,
AFAIK there was no extra recording going on when the buffering messages 
came up.

However, I'll change the scheduler to see if that improves things. 
Although it was set to deadline when the first crash occurred a couple 
of weeks ago.

My user jobs are using nice, but these were also idle when the crashes 
occurred.

Thanks
