I had a problem a while back where it appeared the the system as hanging, but not really crashing. It was the msql database and happened when complex select statements where running. It would kill the processor and eat up all the cycles and not allow for anything else, including keyboard responses to run. The first couple of times that I tried this I thought it was locked up so I forced a reboot... (power off, power on). But later I left it hang and it came back all on it's own, although it took quite a while. The machine was also very busy acting as a file server using netatalk for several macs on the network. Once the server froze up the users were not pleased. Perhaps you are experiencing a similar problem with the same or different software. Maybe you have a hardware issue. When I was running 3.4 STABLE it was pretty solid, although 3.4 RELEASE crashed on me once. (Darwin Streaming Server caused it somehow) Perhaps an upgrade to the latest 3.4 will help you a bit as well.
