A little bit back I was having problems with crond becoming task -9 (on my
system cron is normally pid9).. It seemed to happen when crond was running
updatedb, esp on vfat devices. It looked like it went away with .54..
BUT..

I ran badblocks on some IDE disk (a ~600megger) and the loadavg went
throught the roof.. Also:
Sep 12 23:52:10 limelight kernel: badblocks -8 R current 0 100 70

I ctrl-c ed it.. A second later:

Sep 12 23:52:53 limelight kernel: badblocks 8 R C0106000 0 100 70

Sigh..
