No Cron jobs I know of as this error occurs very rarely, but each time
around the same time. By the time I see the email alert and log in, that one
or two minute overload is gone.
I really don't have any very busy sites on the server or any heavy CGI
scripts. The most complex script on the server is probably the search
function within a FrontPage site.
