I tried it, and it does not fix the problem. However, I did notice
something interesting: One of the machines where I saw the problem had
128MB RAM, and the other, 256MB. When both machines were upped to 512MB,
the problem disappeared. Temporarily reducing the RAM again reintroduced
it again. Going back to 512 made it disappear again. It also seems to be
irrespective of how much swap there is. I have not yet tried any amount
of RAM between 256 and 512.
