The kernel bug theory seems to hold true, as the problem is much less severe with kernel 2.6.38. The system is now down to stalling for seconds at a time instead of hours at a time. An improvement by a factor of 3600x from one version to the next!
Since the problem appears to be in the process of being solved, I guess we can say crisis averted.
