Thanks for the pointers. I'm pretty convinced it happens when there is a problem with my network mounted filesystem (/etc/fstab):
//192.168.1.74/music /mnt/htpc-music cifs noauto,credentials=/etc/samba/user,noexec,uid=john,gid=john 0 0

The advice in the noah.org article looks good but I'm using CIFS not NFS. Apparently CIFS mounts in a soft fashion by default. I'll have to check my configuration. I might have a look at switching to NFS with the soft option. Thanks a lot for all the help it is really appreciated.
