    Ideally, world and kernel being out of sync shouldn't cause instability of
    this sort. Typically, it might result in tools such as ps, top, or maybe
    ipfw not working as desired, but not hangs. If you could confirm the last
    date you had a kernel that didn't have instability problems, we can try
    and track down what change it is between then and now that caused the
    problem to arise.
