Bug Description

Rarely the processor locks onto avahi-deamon processes and doesn't release. This can happen when the PC is not being used. Only the high fan speed alerts me. I cannot repeat it will but it repeats itself naturally.

I find in syslog lots of withdrawing and then registering IPv6 address records
