Just happend again -- twice. The first time, it didn't seem to be coming
out of it any time soon. I eventualy did sysrq-u,s,b and went for another
go. Did it again, same spot. This time I got two addresses: c018e264 and
c011184d. The first is apm_do_idle (+0x64), the second is schedule (+9).
(I didn't check the sysrq-t output this time, but the schedule would seem to
suguest that sendmail was acatually doing _somthing_. OTOH, I don't know
why apm_do_idle would be doing anything in that case.) Also, please see my
Oops post that I'll be putting up shortly: it's possible that they are
related. Oh, yeha. I'm going to disable APM in the BIOS on my next boot to
see if that has any effect.
