Thanks.  This is a server with no X or X apps running.  The base debian
install apparently did install some stuff I thought it should not have,
like pulseaudio, since the machine has no soundcard.  I believe the issue
was multiple processes running amok but I was not able to even get logged
on to see what was going on... the processes had it really tied up.  I made
that assumption based on the error messages that were showing up.

That was with 10. On Debian 9, I have plenty of RAM and CPU available. <shrugs>
