But a reboot seems to have fixed it, but for how long? 24 hours of uptime 
since installing bullseye, kept up to date daily, is beginning to be the 
long norm, for hardware that ran stretch 3 or 4 months at a time.

And that Ingo, will have me pestering the tde list to make tde 
installable on bullseye. There I had fetchmail pulling from imap, handing 
it off to procmail, which filtered the incoming against clamscan and 
spamassassin, dumping survivors into /var/mail, inotifywait then told old 
kmail to go get the mail and sort it, so kmail had nothing to do with 
mail fetching, so it didn't freeze up for 30 secs at a time. Everything 
else was a background process that didn't impinge on kmails performance 
for even a half second.  Sounds complex, but it Just Worked, for months 
at a time.  And I didn't have to waste 3 days a week making it work like 
I'm doing now.

I'll figure out something eventually.

Take care and stay well Ingo.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
