gam_server is using 95-98% of cpu time

[bruce]

Thanks, Art.  That seems to work well on kaffeine, but when I do 
killall gam_server it immediately starts another process with a new 
number.  it is not using as much cpu, but seems to build up over time.  
Right now, just after killing it, it is less than 1%, but before I 
killed it it was back up to an intermittant 50% after running all 
night. 

I don't know how to make a bug report.
