Bruce to the rescue. It's an Internet Sharing thing. I'd totally forgotten that I'd tried to use Internet Sharing for a very hampered iBook. I'm glad it wasn't any security threat, but in all my years of using Macs the type of freeze where the clock and everything is frozen except the cursor is rare, and this coincidence combined with the Google result misled me. I was attempting to use Internet Sharing over Firewire. That day I had no luck with Firewire networking, the client computer's Firewire network port wasn't recognized in Network Preferences for some reason. I'll disable Internet Sharing for now since it sets off this monster flurry of natd connections at startup.
