I've seen intermittent lockups where everything is dead, but I can
break into DDB via serial console.  They may be NFS-related, as it
often crashes a half-hour before I get in to work, which could be due
to co-workers trying to bulid from my NFS-exported ports tree.  ps
inside DDB doesn't show anything obviously wrong to my untrained eyes.
