After closer inspection I noticed a swarm of in.identd processes
were taking over my computer.  This is apparently a common problem with
the in.identd that Caldera uses.  I had commented the auth line
out of inetd.conf in the past but had forgotten after my upgrade 
a long time ago and have been suffering from this problem since.
So I now killed all the in.identd processes, recommented out the auth
line and restarted inetd.  
I should be able to stay up for very long times now.

thanks
Marc
