Absolutely amazing!!! Not two minutes after sending the previous email
I got two xruns clustered together:

The machine had been essentially 'User space idle' for the previous
two hours. The screen saver had kicked in. Audio was running and the
machine was busy. I woke it up, gave xscreensaver my password, read
email, sent the previous mail, then picked up the telephone to make a
call. Not 2 seconds later the xruns occurred!

Bizarre!!!
