Hi

Thanks for your prompt responses and interest in helping.

This is what happens. Start fnord directly like so: ./run so I have 
output to the terminal. Then I can browse the offline copy of cr.yp.to 
for perhaps 20-30 pages before a fnord process starts hogging memory and 
doesn't exit. Other subsequent requests (ie other fnord processes) seem 
to serve content and exit, as expected, but the hanging fnord process 
doesn't exit. So this issue is intermittent. I don't have much 
experience in tracing or debugging running programmes, but could perhaps 
send you output when running strace, or gdb (using backtrace?) on the 
process which hangs? If this will help, please let me know what to do 
(ie switches etc) and how - thanks.

Even with diet build errors like the following?
"install: cannot stat `bin-i386/pstart.o': No such file or directory"
