	So my B&W-G3 MP3 Server has taken to, on occasion, locking up. More Specifically, the iTunes stream dies. I can't VNC into it. I can ssh into it after a long delay, and see that WindowServ is taking up >95% of the cpu, to the detriment of everything else. I've tried reniceing the process to 20.. that doesn't help. I end up just killing the process which fixes it, but its annoying. This is a fresh install of OSX with all updates applied, nothing installed on it besides OSXVNC. Only thing ever running is iTunes (and the vnc server). he;lp
