Are you SURE you don't have a buggy driver installed? Known
culprits include Agnitum outpust, Mcafee virus scanners, Logitech

by your buggy driver leaking memory for every process spawned by
your process-intensive scripts.
The list you gave above has an ellipsis, usually denoting there are more. Is
there a place where this list is kept? I'd like to know because I'd like to see
if the one I found that ultimately caused the problem is on that list.
"..." = spyware tools. Everyone knows that. ;-)
As you found, spyware tools are often culprits as well, though I don't
recall PCTools being specifically implicated on this list. So your findings
are good to know.
