Additional info...

Upon invoking the freeze, Ctl-Alt-F3 sometimes brings up a terminal session on tty3.
If it does, Ctl-Alt-F2 will switch back to GNOME which will remain frozen for a while, but will allow switching back and forth with the Ctl-Alt-F# keys.

Running "top" on tty3 shows no processes taking much %CPU.
Observed a message "[TTM] Buffer eviction failed" 3 times (on tty3) while waiting for unfreeze.

Sometimes, Ctl-Alt-F3 is also unresponsive upon freeze, but did eventually switch to tty3 (after a about 20 seconds). This hasn't been tested much yet.
