Yes, it would appear an ex-colleague of ours used some archaic
incantations in the menu-system, and just send a SIGTERM to the apps to
return to the menu. Made a very neat sighandler and I hope it'll be fixed
now...

Oh, btw... does anybody know if files (*.pfdpool) in /var/tmp have
anything to do with this problem? If so, we can remove the daily cleanup
in our cfengine config as well :)

Anyway, thanks for the help :)
