Hi, I have just tried loading a sound-font file into my SB Live! and ended up needing to reboot my machine when the sfxload program grabbed hold of the CPU and wouldn't give it back! Fortunately the machine is SMP, and so I was able to shutdown cleanly using the other one.
I think the problem happened because I was trying to play a MID file at the time using: $ pmidi -p 65:0 <file> and didn't break this process before trying to load the sound-font. Note also that the sfxload program uses /dev/sequencer and so the OSS emulation modules are also implicated. And the reason I think that this is a kernel problem is that the sfxload process survived repeated "kill -9" attempts by root... ;-).
