If you all think it might be multi-core related, check out a recent post that was syndicated to planet.gentoo: http://gentooexperimental.org/~patrick/weblog/archives/2009-11.html#e2009-11-19T00_43_58.txt This discusses how using a feature in the 2.6.32 kernel one can kill various cores in a multi-core system. In any case, it's a way to experiment with this theory. ~daid
