Yes, I could do this brute force next time it happens, but I was hoping
there was a smart way to do it.  Obviously the OS knows which app is causing
the problem - is there a way for it to tell me, so I can fix it without
interrupting my work by quitting 25 applications?  Also, the culprit could
be some kind of background process.
