You seem to be pretty much able to reproduce this at will, right?

I'd really like to see the raw System.map and dmesg output if your
syslogd doesn't do a proper job of getting the symbols interpreted: just
send the things by email, and I'll put something together.  It's too
hard to interpret your half-way decoded thing, and I really want to see
what this xmms thing is doing..

This is the smoking gun here, I bet, but I'd like to make sure I see the
whole thing. I don't see _why_ we'd have deadlocked on __wait_on_page(),
but I think this is the thread that hangs on to the mm semaphore.
