No joy.. the system seized up again within a few hours of coming back up.

Now trying another suggestion sent to me by a direct poster:

*       Recommendation from Sun (Oracle) to work around a bug:
*       6958068 - Nehalem deeper C-states cause erratic scheduling behavior
set idle_cpu_prefer_mwait = 0
set idle_cpu_no_deep_c = 1

Was apparently the cause of a similar symptom for them and we are using
Nehalem.

At this point I'm running out of options, so it can't hurt to try it.

Regards,
