i'll have to try snd-dummy. and yes, it will happen with just jackd
alone. 

however, it will not happen unless jackd is run with SCHED_FIFO. my
system has been running for several days now with jackd there the
whole time. with SCHED_FIFO, i can't get more than about 10-15
minutes, or so it seemed.

the worrying thing here is that the problem may go back further in
time, because until qjackctl came along, my default was to run without
SCHED_FIFO, whereas with it the "default" is with SCHED_FIFO. this
means that SCHED_FIFO operation may not have been tested well enough
for quite a while (on my system, i mean). i do know that in further
back (months), i've run jackd+ardour with SCHED_FIFO for hours without
problems on this system.
