When it stops, try to reduce kern.maxvnodes to something low (like 100),
you can restore it, if the machine wakes up.
If this is a memory shortage instead of a deadlock, this will easily
free kernel memory. You may need to wait 1-2 minutes to let the
page daemon collect free pages.
If you cannot issue a sysctl command, you can patch the kernel variable
"desiredvnodes" with DDB instead.
