[ltp] programs take much too long to start

Hi all,

maybe you got an idea:

Sometimes almost all programs on my Thinkpad R51 take much too long to start. 
That is for instance about 20s for starting vi. After this long time the 
programs operate just as normal.

This happens both for root and my user. Normally the problem is gone, if I 
just do a reboot. Strace doesn't tell something useful to me. If I start vi 
on the "real" console (ctrl+alt+f1), it works normally.

I use Debian unstable, KDE 3.2, 2.6.7 kernel.

Thanks a lot,

- Moritz
