Oh sure, scare him off. I was listening for a useful answer.

I've seen this behaviour on my Fedora systems more than once. My first
reaction was that it was a rootkit of some sort. I was teaching Linux
class a month ago and one of the students also complained of a similar
problem on her personal Fedora system. So my experience says it isn't
an isolated incident.

Trying to find debugging info is also tough. /var/log/messages doesn't
report anything. dmesg doesn't show anything either.
