Son.  Of.  A.  @#$@$$##@^%!!!!  Yes, yes I am running Google Desktop Search.
Yes, yes disabling it appears to solve the problem.

Thank you Mr. Robb, I owe you a Coke.  And now, if the Gentle Reader will
allow me, I would like to take this opportunity to <rant_on>:

It is the twenty first gat dang century and our OSes still are unable to
manage a simple file system properly.  Un.  Be.  Lievable.  I've been
overestimating the state of the CS art "in the wild" these days as "rubbing
sticks together and seeing fire."  In fact, it's closer to "rubbing sticks
together, seeing fire, trying to grab the fire, getting burned, lather,
rinse, repeat."  With this sorry state of affairs, it is amply clear that
there is no way these "PC"s as they're called are ever going to catch on.

</rant_off>

Ladies and Gentlemen, you can now expect a new mutt release shortly.
