[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Just a quick update: I went through my .emacs line by line and was able to
find the culprit.

After I commented out "(follow-mode t)", Emacs has been running fine for a
few hours now.

It appears the combination of org-mode, follow-mode in Emacs 27-30 running
in a Debian 11/12 VM in VirtualBox 6/7 on a Windows 11 host, and a copy
operation on the host, sometimes causes problems.

Thank you, Eli and Michael, for your help. I really appreciate it.
