Thanks for the advice.  Avahi only complains between 04:00:08 and  
04:00:18 each day, so timing a command exactly then might be kind of  
hard.  In any case, even if its not to blame, why is avahi the only  
thing complaining?

I will try to issue a lsof -n command at 04:00:00, and hopefully that  
will catch it.
