===============================================================
Now perhaps I have missed something but to me that all looks just
fine. I should setup something to log ps. But in my guests I see steal
pushed through the roof. And its like that for days ahead time. Ive
noticed the steal during the lockups before but either I neglected to
look back several days or forgot what I saw. I didnt recall steal
being at 100% as far back as my logs go.
