no processes, including beanstalk, were registering as using any cpu
according to top. Here's the relevant line from top: Cpu(s):  0.2%us,
0.0%sy,  0.0%ni, 99.8%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st

I also ran the stack trace multiple times and it was in exactly the
same place.

Well, clients were unable to connect.  They would just hang for
multiple minutes before I canceled them.

Well, yeah, that's totally possible.  Beanstalk seemed to have the
weirdest behavior - other services responded, albeit very slowly.

If it happens again, is there anything I should look for?
