Look for lisp processes. I'm also using amd64 Ubuntu 8.10 and have had
big problems with lisp randomly hanging -- it doesn't crash, it just
sits doing nothing. This behavior is random but not very frequent. I
also see it when running Sage normally. I suspect this explains all the
problems you've been seeing -- look for hung lisp.run and maxima
processes.
