    "I'm positive. The machine itself locks up. I cannot ctrl+alt+del, can't
    switch VCs; it freezes. NFS isn't necessarily a part of the problem
    anyway. Just general net load seems to do it. For example, if I start
    multiple downloads with using Bittorent. I haven't narrowed the issue
    down terribly far, though. It did not hang while grabbing an ISO via
    HTTP at ~300 KBps. It does, however, hang when there's significant load
    and Bittorent is part of the formula. But it doesn't _always_ hang when
    using it."

    Have you ruled out livelock?
