I wonder if this is what I'm seeing right now, but actually the Freerunner
is just running extremely slowly. I was logged in with SSH over usb0, before
it became super slow, and it takes minutes between keypresses and a reaction
in the shell. I'm trying to start 'top' now, but I don't know if I'll have
time to wait to see what's taking all the time. I am running the 'locations'
app.

Here's a dump from top:

Hmm. Problem seems to be memory full as recently reported in
http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/devel/2008-August/001484.html and
follow-ups.
