Comment 8 for bug 239021

I can confirm that the 2.6.24-16-generic (hardy) Linux kernel running under Gutsy had no such issues. However, appeared only when I reinstalled with Hardy. Just like DJ Dallas, I cannot reproduce the bug at will, nor can I trace it in any way. The only difference is that the heavy freeze doesn't actually crash the computer. If I have music on while the system freezes, the sound loops 5-6 times, then the CPU calms down and works normally without any need to restart. This occurs about 2-3times/h without pattern, except the 100% CPU and complete unresponsiveness of keyboard/touchpad.
