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):
