The only threads that run are the monitor threads when cvs processes the
xxxinfo files (and there should only be one of those at a time, usually). 
Plus I develop most of the time on a dual-processor machine anyway.

Please try with build 75 (or even better the nightlies as there's a fix in
there that caused crashes on some unicode files), then send me the dump
file.  Posting Dr.Watson errors isn't really helping...
