Today events/0 was using 25% of CPU, avahi-daemon, 9%

 From what I can tell, there's nothing interesting in dmesg or logread. 
  This is on a factory image + opkg upgrade as of last night.

Perhaps the problem is related to avahi, or at least it's getting lots 
of copies of a relevant error message.

Is there something I should turn on to aid in debugging if this happens 
again?  Rebooting fixed it the problem.

It might be unrelated, but once I power up bluetooth through the GUI, I 
can't turn it back off, at least according to the user interface messages.

I enabled bluetooth via the menu from the button next to the usb port. 
Now, when I disable it via that menu, it stays on.  Disabling via the 
bluetooth icon says "Bluetooth turned off", but checking status with 
that icon says "Bluetooth is on".  Is this a known issue?
