I may have a similar issue, so I'm not opening a new bug. Also, I have only vague info about it. Will search logs next time this happens.
I have this code that's doing scp over from a windows + cygwin machine. I have my id_rsa.pub authorized in this remote machine. Sometimes, seemingly randomly after a number of scp, the cpu would max at 100%, with gnome-keyring-daemon being the offender process. There is no real way out. I can kill gnome-keyring-daemon, but then my passwordless scp don't work anymore, and I can't restart gnome-keyring-daemon within the gnome session (can i?).

As I say, sorry for the lack of details. I will look into log files next time this happens.
Note that I am running the exact same things daily within ibex w/o any problems.
