Okie, I've duplicated the problem, the gc is getting stuck and that eats 
up all the CPU.  In particular it gets stuck in startGC() looping on the 
finalizer list.  I tried backing out helmer's last changes to the GC and 
it seems to run fine again, but I'm not really sure where the bug is just 
yet.

btw, playing mp3's with kaffe is kinda neat!
