User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

I am running Civilization III with the "Play the World" expansion pack, v1.26f.

If Mozilla is running when I quit Civilization III, then Mozilla eats massive
amounts of CPU time for a couple of minutes afterwards during which time I
experience very poor performance from my computer.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Civilization III and start a game
2. Quit Civilization III

Actual Results:  
In Windows Task Manager, Mozilla is shown to take up 90% or more CPU usage for a
couple of minutes.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should not suck up so many CPU cycles.

of course, the simple way to fix the problem is to switch to linux.

If bug 76831 comment 206 is correct, this is not a dup.
Reporter: Do you have mailnews installed?
Does the bug happen also if you have NOT started mailnews in the current session?

To the best of my knowledge, I do not have mailnews installed. I certainly 
never run it.

Still happening with Mozilla 1.7.6.  Also happens with Thunderbird 1.0.2.

Any news on this at all?
