I suggest to report this to address@hidden
Loggerhead's configuration was recently changed to make it consume
less resources (because it was caught at least once hogging the
machine); it could be that now it has too few of them.  Your reports
will allow the savannah admins to tune the configuration some more.

Of course, as Glenn points somewhat out humorously, installing bzr on
your machine and regularly updating from the master repository is a
much better way, even if, like Drew, you don't build your own Emacs.
