Strange iBook trackpad behavior
My iBook (specs in my signature) has been demonstrating some really weird trackpad behavior in the last couple hours. It will alternate between normal movement, super-fast movement, and a complete lack of movement a few times per minute. I have no idea what's causing this... I thought it might be confused because I have "Ignore trackpad while typing" on, so I turned that off and it helped, but it still acts strangely. I also turned off tap-clicking.
Could it be confused by the heat from the computer? I run the command line version of SETI at home 24/7, and right now the fan is on and the CPU is at 100% (it's always at 100% when SETI is on, it only uses unclaimed CPU cycles so it doesn't slow down the computer at all).

I was confused because the trackpad was totally clean. Apparently it just gets screwed up after a while.
