I'd give you more details from the tracer but that's all lost in the 
middle of a dreaded
	CPU:1 [87702 EVENTS DROPPED]
incident.

Though I can try again to see if I can get a better trace.

Also possibly related, the following was 
generated at least one of the times things got wedged (according to my 
notes this same warning has also been triggered previously by Dave Jones 
and trinity but I don't know if it's the same problem or not):
