(Get the code!)
I've looked into this further.
First, the bug is heavily related to screen, keyboard, and/or mouse activity. If I set up two monitors and don't have anything going on more interesting than the clock changing once a minute, all is fine for hours. If I set up activities on both screens and start playing with applications, the system freezes within a few minutes. (Perl printing out an infinite run of integers is very nice, so is system monitor's "resources" screen.)
Second, while this happens using either the installed 12.10 or the live 12.10 DVD, it does not happen using the 12.04 live CD. Perl had counted to 180 million, taking several hours, and I had played with various applications during that time. [There were some minutes of screen blanking due to inactivity as well.]
I could not find anything in /var/log that appeared to relate to this problem.
