It's not your flavor of Unix per se. I get the same thing under 3.51. I've
learned to just wait until I catch the machine fairly quiet (under .20 by
Lenny Tropiano's sysinfo daemon) and then run my mk.paths script, although
it's sometimes quite a while before I can catch moray not doing some kind
of batching/unbatching. I would love to hear other solutions who have
solved the problem without having to resort to my solution.
