Tough with that episode to tell for sure.  I'm trying to narrow down a 
trap where the instant it happens I can see exactly where it's at.

Sorry about that.

Doesn't surprise me--it seems to be very busy!

I'm unsure where "menu extras" really begin or end.  Do you mean 
anything that lays at the top of the finder screen on the right?  Like 
Fantastical, 1Password, DropBox, et al?

I don't use it at all.

And remember, as I frequently forget myself, *this is not sleep*.  I 
can continue to type, Cmd-Tab to other applications, click and drag, 
cursor through lists.  When I move my mouse to a hot-corner, then pull 
it out (this is how I "wake" the screen), I see that the things I've 
been doing through this non-sleep-but-blacked screen--this zombie 
state--have all taken place in the dark.

I have not.  But then it has choked me for 10 minutes, or an hour, and 
then gone away.  Already during this session, it has ridden me like a 
mule through 8 to 12 passes.  I quit a bunch of programs or do some 
other something, and, as it has this minute, it abates.  If I were to 
reboot in another session there'd be no reason to think it would 
necessarily do this for a week!

If I had a consistent way to make it do it's thing, I'd consider taking 
it for repair.

It's maddening!
