Ah, now sysrq is working (just had to configure it correctly).  I've seen two
backtraces in the hangs I've seen.  The one I just reproduced looks like this:

Enabling local filesystem quotas:  [  OK  ]
Enabling swap space:  [  OK  ]
INIT: Entering runlevel: 3
Entering non-interactive startup
Starting sysstat:  [  OK  ]
Setting network parameters:  ^[SYSSysRq : Show State

and the CPU is in cpu_idle (somewhere, either default_idle or somewhere
along that call path).  The other failure was also a hang, and it looked
like an infinite number of page faults was being generated, something
like
