Another bug that is not directly asterisk related, but is good to know 
about is the current incompatibility between Firefox 3 and some 
components of AVG anti-virrus.  If you use Firefox 3 and leave the web 
shield, Safe Search, link Scanner and AVG Security toolbar enabled, 
Firefox will start spawning an insane number of threads and after a few 
minutes will block all new internet connections.  Exesting connections 
continue to work, like Yahoo Messenger and radio streams but your mail 
client will stop connecting, pings from the command line cause the 
command line to lock up, etc.  If Firefox is left running in that state 
after a couple of minutes, the start menu and taskbar will stop 
responding as well.  Took a reformat for me to figure out AVG was 
causing my problems.
