Thanks to all who replied, including

Here's my fortnightly update:
- 1. Firefox crashiness: It still crashes a lot, but not as much as with BitLord. I'm going to follow
zaimoni's advice and disable TalkBack.
- 2. Dual-booting Windows 2000 and Ubuntu Linux on a ThinkPad: I haven't tried it yet; soon.
- 3. IP redirection and CUPS revisited: Lots of good documentation, thanks to
nikolasco and the good folks in HOWTO land.
Now for the new questions...
Slow search in Mozilla Thunderbird
Is there any way to get a system runnig Mozilla Thunderbird (1.5.0.4) to search message headers faster, using roughly the same time (to within an order of magnitude) as MS Outlook and Outlook Express?
Failure to hibernate, redux
Hirilonde is again not hibernating! Ugh. What's more, this time, it fails out with the message "insufficient system resources to perform operation", and kills the hibernate tab in "Power Options Properties".
Which of the following applications (listed in descending order of my suspicion) could be the culprit?
- Mozilla Firefox (1.5.0.5)
- Mozilla Navigator (1.7.12)
- BitTorrent 4.20.4
- BitLord 1.1 (a BitTorrent client)
- Trillian Pro 3.1
- Google Desktop
- SpamBayes
Boldface indicates apps that have been on when WinXP Pro SP2 has failed to hibernate. The rest have been off in at least one case where it failed to hibernate anyway.
Software incompatibilities
On a more general note, is there any software that can detect potential conflicts among drivers or between drivers and applications? I have Norton Systemworks on Numerramar, but that seems to have limited efficacy (besides which, Numerramar, which runs Windows 2000, is one of my most stable systems to begin with).
