I have the same problem with two machines, one a dual core x86_64 and a
AMD XP2000 ... self built together and working 2 and 5 years
respectively.

I could only log in ssh from another machine.

Until some days later perhaps. I have excessive problems with some
versions of Evolution and the newest OpenOffice 2.2 running high disk
